Gator Basketball Todd Golden new Florida Men's Basketball Coach; hires Taurean Green

[NVGator]

Fuchs him. See ya, Pal.

 

[GatorBart]

Maybe we'll make the Dance now that the selection committee knows MW won't be coaching?

 

[Double Gator Dad]

I virtually guarantee he was not retained and they worked out a deal.

Agreed

He’s very well liked inside the program and Scottie waited for a few days so White could land softly. That’s what happens to really nice people.
This seems to be a win for all three parties at this point.

Now the hard part, trusting Stricklin to get the right coach in here. Time to earn the seven figure salary.

aTm doesn't get in . Love it, they win 7 games in a row, roll over number 1 and 4 SECT seeds to get to the final, and then watch the reveal thinking "this next one must be our bracket". Fuk Jimbo and anything associated with him.

I don't care what Ox says about it being family friendly. Young children should not be surfing GatorChatter.

 

[MJMGator]

Wonder what the Dwags are thinking?

True but think about how letting him go to another SEC team, and a hated rival at that, shows how desperate we were to be rid of him. UGA may think twice now since we are all so happy to see him go there! :)

I'm not that happy about him landing at the dwags. I'm damn glad to be rid of him but always felt like he was more snake-bit than just a ****tty coach. He seems to run a good camp before the season starts and gets the team ready for a hot start. But he is terrible at getting his players to stay together when the tough losses start. They never seem willing to go to war for him as the season goes on and it usually feels like they are on the verge of mutiny by the final 3rd of the season then do just enough to get in the tournament.

I have always fully expected he would continue to screw us by somehow becoming a winner as soon as we cut him loose, and now he's going to be in the SEC at a major rival making that outcome very possible.

6 SEC teams made the tournament. Florida wasn't one of them.

Becoming a Dwag couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. So happy for him and his family that they won't be harassed by expectations anymore... He and his .625 win percentage will be forever happy there. Hopefully, in a couple of years, he can reproduce the mediocrity that he achieved here at Florida.

Fck all dawgs.

Very accurate description of his seasons year after year.

I imagine they'll steal a few games from us as revenge for their coach,
but other than that, the mediocrity will continue for White and co.

Bye Bye Whitey.

The comments are just pure gold.

I would rather White be out of sight and out of mind. Except stomping UGa will be better with them depending on White.
I hope all of UGa's statistics get worse. Hope they rim-clang their shots per White's training.

Georgia quickly hires Florida's White as coach

 

[gatorev12]

This was the best news all day!

We get rid of ****tty coach and further weaken a hated rival, who's paying us money for what we would have done anyway.

Love it.

Who we getting?
