With Billy Donovan leaving for OKC (NBA), who will be the next coach at Florida?
Smart move by Billy. Well, if he stays more than 24 hours.
Hes not Calipari. His well has run dry and he hes not getting any more top recruits in the future.
If im Florida and am stuck this late by a coach leaving, theres not many options. Either hire a holdover to get you threw next year and hope a good name comes up, or hire someone like Antigua and let him build. I think were about to see Florida permanently go back to sucking annually.
Sorry to the Lville fans who were a 100% sure Cal was going to OKC.
Maybe another day.
I think they should hire another Billy.........Gillespie.

Not necessarily. With the hires of Howland at Miss. State, Avery Johnson at Bama, and Rick Barnes at Tennessee. Depending on who Florida hires I'd say the SEC is getting much stronger.

Agreed. Great guy, just not a great head coach. Who would you recommend for the position? Not sure if there are many good ones available at this point.
At this point they just better hope to make a lucky hire that will hold them over a year or two until a viable candidate is freed up.
Michael White from Louisiana Tech has been hired.
And his assistant is former WVU standout Darris Nichols.
