No I've been doing research and he's a good coach and I think he's gonna be one hell of a recruiter

Same number that Donovan had as a head coach before coming to Florida.

Donovans don't really grow on trees.
It's an interesting hire especially with names this board was throwing around.

Well...obviously I am joking but we weren't the program we are now in 1996...if you wrote down all the accomplishments on paper from the 19 years you'd expect a little more from the new guy besides some NITs.
Come on, dude. Did you really expect anything else from Fooley? We don't have the purse to pry a guy away from powerhouses like Dayton, Xavier, or Wichita.

You should have known he was going down to Honest Earl's Buy Here Pay Here car lot and try to find a gem for cheap.

Not once did I disagree with this.

Not disagreeing with that. But again, we'll see how this plays out. He's young, similar style of play, strong recruiting ties in the South and Florida. I wanted a bigger splash hire but I'm willing to give him a chance.

Sometimes, I feel like Foley is trying to outsmart everyone instead of doing some due diligence. Again, just me

Not disagreeing with that either.

I've barely had time to comprehend that Billy is actually gone, hadn't even started thinking about who would replace him. Damn sure wasn't expecting to see earlier today that this guy was getting interviewed and then seeing he was hired a few hours later.

I'm sure if Billy was asked, he'd like this hire. Another up and comer given a shot at a big school, like Billy. However, I also have to think where this program came from 19 years ago and would think we'd do better than another up and comer.

I I just hope we are a better Free Throw shooting team.

Welcome to GatorNation Coach White!


That was about the quietest search ever. Perhaps others said thanks, but no thanks. White is actually 101-40 over 4 years at LA Tech. Don't know where that 83-27 came from. He won C USA regular season 3 years in a row. The only reason he didn't get to the NCAA tourney is he never won a conference tournament. And I agree, don't trash it because you've never heard of him. I'm not making comparisons but I'm are not many heard of Billy D when he was hired. I think he will be solid. And hopefully Allen doesn't bolt.

oh great the FB program has been dragged down the toilet so lets start ruining the BB program... All that work down the drain... Oh yeah great track record, 0 NCAA births.
Hell Grant had at least accomplished that.

BS hire. Is the freaking School broke.

He won three conference championships out of 4 years. I guess it's just difficult for his conference to get an NCAA bid.

Nope. 25 mil profit last year and the SEC contract money is now flowing.

Ask Dooley. He knows to where all the money is disappearing.

Young hungry coach to take over for a coach with his eye on the NBA for the past several years. I'll take it. Not my first thought, but seems like a solid hire.
