Title: "MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME"
Post by: 4everwarriors on March 31, 2007, 10:23:02 PM
Heard that Donovan has that on his IPod. Is there a doubter in the house? Smart money says UK pays whatever it takes to bring him to Lexington. Take it to the bank and bet the mortgage.

realize what UF will look like next season ....... Horford, Brewer, Noah are gone for sure.  Humprhey and Richard graduate.  Maybe (maybe) Green returns.  You have Green returning and a cast of kiddies......time to leave Gainesville, Billy

It's not like UK is returning 10 McDonald's All American's.  Both jobs have their challenges.

And it's not about the money, or at least it shouldn't be.  I'm sure Florida can put together a good enough package for him to stay if he wants.  I won't be surprised if he left for UK, but I would hope he doesn't just go because of an extra $500,000 or something stupid like that.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ will be a big part of it.  So is tradition, facilities, fan base, expectations (some coaches crave what UK offers in that respect), access to recruits, and national visibilty.  At the end of the day, the UK head coaching job is one of the most visible jobs in collegiate sports.  tough to turn it down

I understand the rest of it, which is why I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the job, but I really think that money shouldn't be a part of it.  Either school should be able to match the other.
