Billy Donovan- Where will he end up?
Billy Donovan just recently inked a deal to become the Orlando Magic's new head coach. It was a big contract as well at 5 years 27.5 million dollars. It had looked like he was trying to buck the trend of all of the college coaches just being horrible in the NBA. It was a great opportunity for him with already having a superstar in Dwight Howard and a couple of young great players, this team could easily be a playoff team next year.
On the other side of the spectrum, it looked like Florida would not miss a beat because they would hire Anthony Grant who lead VCU to a damn-near Sweet 16 and you could easily tell he made this guys believe that they could do this. Grant was the top candidate because he was an assistant under Donovan, a couple years back which meant that they would be able to keep the recruits that they got. He would bring the same energy that Donovan brought to every game he coached in the college game.
It seemed that every thing was peachy in the Sunshine State, but as the Sunshine Scooter would say "Not so fast my friend". Billy D was in the tears after he made the decision and was completely regretting that he took the job as the Magic head coach. So now he wants out and I think its absolute bullshit. Billy is being a complete jerk about this and should honor that he took the job because you never know it could end up being alright then when its all done he can come back to the college game.
He is leaving everybody hanging, he leaves Orlando with the need to find somebody quick so they have a coach in place before the draft and the FA season although it seems that Stan Van Gundy or P.J. Carlisimo would get the job therefore they have a coach ready but those guys are not compared to Billy Donovan. He leaves Florida and their recruits hanging, they have no idea if they should make any moves to hire anybody. Also being a kid going into college, I would like to know where I am going to school next year espically if I am playing athletics. Finally VCU is left hanging to find themselves a new coach who can match the energy of Grant.
The NBA has seemed to tell Donovan if he leaves the Magic, he will be banned from the NBA for 5 years. These coaches need to think over what the hell they are doing when deciding on whether to switch jobs. All of these coaches lately such as Rich Rodriguez, and Dana Altman tell programs that they are coming to the school to coach then change their mind so its ridiculous because it is likely they get a second tier coach. They just need to take their time when thinking about switching jobs.
More to come about the Brew Crew and Finals predicitions.
