Another example of college coach failing at pro level.

Suprised he didn’t announce this before some of the good college jobs were filled.

Steve Kerr is available...

He could have been a great fit at North Carolina.

Much better than Michael Malone.

It'll be interesting to see if he comes back to college. If Kentucky moves on from Mark Pope after another mediocre year Billy would be the first call I'd make when conducting the next coaching search.

I thought for sure he'd take UNC job.

It doesn't look good for Pope so I'm hoping Kentucky brings Donovan back to Lexington. He's turned us down in the past but the timing wasn't right. If Pope fails this year he's likely gone and the new AD will want to make a splash hire and they don't get any bigger than a 2 time National championship winning head coach who has NBA ties as well.

Guy should have never left Florida

He will replace Steve Kerr in Golden State

He wasn’t a bad coach again if you don’t have Hall of Fame players, you’re not a good coach at any level

I wonder how he'll like playing for Steph Curry?
I mean coaching Steph Curry.

With great players

agreed same with Jackson, POP, Daly etc.

 

[theriver55]
