Ballsy choice if true. Could be a great one. Or not.

Isn't this the guy who turned down UT last year?

Yes. And Missouri. And Alabama this year as well, I believe. Who knows what will happen. I watched them beat Georgia and barely lose to FSU in the NIT. Fast paced offense, like Donovan's was when he first came to UF.

Same fashion of hire as Billy when they first got him. However the odds of him being another Donovan are slim to none.

I really wonder if FL can be consider a big time job. Billy D won back to back championships, several FFs and E8s, conference championships, and was competitive against UK...yet he still complained about lack of fan/administrative support. I could see guys like Archie Miller and Xavier's coach turning an offer down bc of this, so FL might not have a lot of great options.

Either way I've never heard of this guy or remember ever hearing about LA tech bball, but that's not always a bad thing. Interesting none the less

Almost beating FSU isn't exactly something to hang one's hat on.

Foley going outside the box again.........there is no way he had this guy on his list of replacements at anytime this year.

A choice that has even Florida fans scratching their head.............IMO.
