O'Leary was the head football coach of the UCF Knights (known for part of his tenure as the Golden Knights) from 2004 through 2015. During his tenure, he led UCF to 6 divisional titles, 4 conference titles, and 7 bowl games. Most notably, he led UCF to the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, where the Knights upset the Baylor Bears 52-42.
This statue, located just outside the UCF football stadium, lists many of his accomplishments with the team. For more about him, you can read an archive of his official UCF profile

The statue's material is not listed, but it appears to be bronze with a concrete plinth. The statue is life-sized, showing him in his coaching uniform holding a football.
