Former Arkansas head coach John Pelphrey, who was rumored this week as a candidate for the Miami head coaching job, has landed back at Florida as an assistant to Billy Donovan. Pelphrey served as an assistant for the Gators until 2002 before leaving to take the head coaching job at South Alabama. Donovan had space on his bench thanks to highly regarded assistant Larry Shyatt moving back to Wyoming to take the Cowboys’ head job. I think Pelphrey also played for Kentucky at some point.


We speculated some about what Pelphrey’s next move would be after he quickly rose to one of the better jobs in the country and was dismissed this spring. By going to Florida for another stint with Billy Donovan, Pelphrey should be able to keep a strong presence on the recruiting trail and position himself nicely for a good mid-major or low high-major job in the next couple of seasons. Until then, we’ll just have to crush him at least twice a year.

Wow what a step up Pelphrey.
Atleast not much has changed.
He will still get whooped by UK every year.
Wierd thing is he must have not even tried for a UK assistant job. It seems Cal would have def gave him one being from there like he has others.
Cal might not care to much for him though or vise versa or maybe him and Billy D are buds.

Pelphrey and Billy D are really close friends and Pelphrey was Donovan's assistant for about 6 years at Florida and maybe at Marshall when Donovan was there.

IMO, this is a good move. Get some experience from a great coach!

Why would Cal hire Pelphrey?

WTH are you talking about?

[Bolt]

Why would Cal hire Pelphrey?

He wouldnt. My point exactly.

[itzAmazing]

Great to hear. Best of luck to Pelphrey.

[MVP2]

I like the hire by Billy D. I'd say this is only a one year thing though. I'm sure Pelphrey will be a head coach somewhere year after next, rather a big school or small.

This is Billy D helping out a good friend until he can get back on hos feet and get a HC job somewhere, If you watched the Final Four show you would understand the relationship that they share.
