Jerry hails from the small town of Avilla, Indiana.
He
attended junior
college in Minnesota on a basketball scholarship, then proceeded to get cut, and
was “forced” to coach the women’s team at the school! O’Neill's
35 year career has included being a
program director at 3 different radio stations and while in Indiana, hosted the
statewide Perdue basketball and football coaches shows.
O’Neill has worked in
numerous markets including Ft. Myers, Ft. Walton Beach, Lafayette/West Lafayette
Indiana, and St. Louis.
O’Neill has been a sports talk show host in Orlando since January of 1994
beginning at
WWZN-AM 540. He has been a part of the
University of Central Florida football broadcast team since 1995. Jerry
joined WHOO-AM 1080, " ESPN 1080" in January of 2008. O’Neill makes very
clear his “love” of way too many teams (usually the ones that still have a
chance to win a championship). But he is devoted to UCF & Notre Dame
football, Indiana University Basketball, and the Atlanta Braves.
