I don't get how half of these quotes you listed have to do with Donovan being unhappy.

Obviously, Foley didn't either.

So really just speculation...got it

Yep. You didn't really expect Donovan to hold a press conference Feb 25th expressing his discontent over this. We heard the rumblings in the Gator clubs. I posted it a month ago.

This is an interesting thread. I wonder if acting like we didn't need to upgrade our facilities and then promising to upgrade our facilities and then finally putting it on hold because football was "more important" actually lead to discontent with BD. It's an interesting take. I don't know if we will ever know.

Of course not. It's all speculation :-)

Yes, it does seem implausible, does it not? The symptoms are everywhere and the disease is Fooley.

I love the fact that he won't pay the going rate for elite coaches, or coaching staffs, and won't upgrade the facilities, but he sure as fvkk pays HIMSELF twice as much as any other SEC AD.

And many here are still more than willing to keep kissing the browneye.

Well now that Donovan and the gymnastics coach are gone do you think he should get an extension. I mean sure multiple NC's just walked out on him but think of the money he'll save when he replaces them with new coaches

At $3.5 million a year, Donovan was the 6th highest paid coach in the Nation. .

How is the Basketball cupboard? Did Donovan act like he was all that into it this year? IDK...

How much less did he make than the other coaches with 2 NCs?
