Wow. Do you think this was a good idea? He should of stayed in Florida.

?

Great move IMO. He's got a superstar big man that he can build around. Some talent is already there, some is still needed. They'll definitely look to land Carter this offseason.

A ton of money and a pretty good team to work with. No brainer.

Plus, all the proven players left Florida for the draft, so Florida wasn't going to be a contender. His stock was never going to get any higher than it is now.

On the other hand, the name Lon Kruger comes to mind...

when you start a thread, and dont explain whats going on, usely people dont know what your talking about. maybe you should provide a link?

He should have gone to Kentucky. College coaches in the NBA dont tend to work very well.

It's good for his wallet maybe not so much his career.

Why would he go to Kentucky is that a joke or something he turned Florida into a powerhouse and back to back champs why would he go to Kentucky?

Would you leave your team after two titles in 2 years to go to Kentucky honestly I'm sorry that comment just baffles me.

they'd share with him The Colonels secret recipe.

Why would he go to Kentucky? Do you know anything about the history of Kentucky basketball? He was Kentucky's top choice when they were hiring, and I guarantee you he turned down the job because he wanted to go to the NBA. There is no way he turned down Kentucky to stay at Florida. No matter what you do at Florida you are always going to be second behind football.

i dont like this move by donoovan, you have to look at it like this, first, its way harder to suceed in the NBA then in the NCAA, and its also way easier to loose your job, also, if you look down the road, 5-7 years, while he is at Orlando, how many championships do you see him winning? its gonna be really hard on really small odds for the magic to win a championship, then if you look at if he stays at florida, he could probably win 1 or maybe even 2 there in the next 7 years. i dont think it will work out well...

Magic lose Donovan

Donovan having second thoughts
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2892334

What a dumass. Apparently he did not think it through enough. Orlando has to let him go now, as it is really the only thing they can do, and then refund the fans.

I don't mind that he changed his tune, that's fine, you gotta do in life what will make him happy, but he really put egg on a lot of faces.

he made the right decsicion, probably read my post....

Looks like the Magic are thinking about hiring Stan "Ron Jeremy" Van Gundy to replace Donovan.

"Replacing Donovan" is a strange notion, since he was only hired for a day, but I guess it's accurate.

lots of coaches only get hired for a day, then have 2nd thoughts...

And then there are some defensive coordinators who get hired, and never have a thought, ever...

lol^^
