Just heard this on ESPN. Wow, shocking...

 

[Dawoofdaddy]

hes going to find out, similar to his mentor ric pitino that in nba, players dont give a damn what the coach says.

 

[5teamparlay]

Not a bad idea, ya fuvk up there (no lose situation in ORLANDO), then go back to a nice college program.

 

[fucnluc]

If Dwight Howard could get anybody decent around him on this team they wouldn't be half bad.

 

[Journeyman]

You have got to be kidding me....he acted as if he had no clue yesterday.

This just goes to show reality set in after his stars left and he had time to think about it...I am sorry to see this.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Orlando brass and marketing dept. made a wise decision...not sure if Donavan made the right one, although financially he probably did..

Who's left to take over UF?:monsters-

Everyone worthy that left a school has already been hired:

6 years 36 million

He'd be making $6M x 6 instead of $3-4M x 7. Here's an interesting quote from when he turned down the UK job:

"You can't buy happiness, and the school [Florida] has always taken care of me."

 

[SkinsRaj28]

He's worshiped in Florida, he's getting PAID, and he doesn't have anything left to accomplish in CBB.

Plus, if he fails in the NBA, he can always go back. Every year there's at least one or two desperate big-time programs in need of a coach.

STUPID!

See Mike Montgomery, Lon Kruger, ETC ETC

College is the place to be!

To answer my own question (lol) I guess stealing Grant back would be the logical choice.

But who knows...should be interesting:thumbsup:

Stupid???

You dont think he could fall flat on his face for 2 years and not go back to damn near any program and make the same amount he is making now?

 

[Seymour]

NBA assistants that have worked under sucessful coaches are the best suited for head coaches - I'm trying to think of one college coach that is successful in the NBA.

 

[lapdance]

another rick pitino?

 

[aceduecetrey]

another rick pitino?

ya, that guy is really hating life.....

 

[cnote]

even if he fails in the nba he would not have to work another day in his life...36 mil guaranteed..no need to go back to college ball if he dont want to...he can just sit back and relax and retire in his mid 40's a very wealthy man
