Really?!? Lol what a stupid article. Donovan has 2 national tiles, the rest of those coaches have 0 except for one guy ( Self ) who has one.

Why, just because it manages to include Donovan, Calipari and Bill Self?

Lol.... I thought perhaps wooden was going to make the list.

[gatordavisl]

There is dumb journalism, then there is this. Pure hackism. Hope that person does not actually get paid for such inanity.

[MadduxFanII]

Was this thing put together last year? It says Cal doesn't have any titles.

[MadduxFanII]

Oh, and it's a slideshow that requires loading a new page for every entry, which is just a lot of suck rolled into one feature.

[gatorbogey]

forbes should have a better idea of what a nat'l title means - what's the valuation for it. [nearly priceless,....and it's not just 2 titles for BD but back2back titles...that's like a trillion right there.

seriously, it appears 1 title equals about 4 million in salary. so BD is probably underpaid.

[GatorPlanet]

Even if that author is making minimum wage, he's the most overpaid journalist in America.

There. See how easy that is?

When was this article written? It has Trent Johnson still at LSU and Capel still at Oklahoma.

F this. Guy can go pound sand.

[InstiGATOR1]

You do realize this is at least a year old? It has last years LSU coach and some other coaches who have been fired or moved on.

[rtgator]

This guys stats should also measure Sweet 16 and Final 8 appearances. Billy's had several Sweet 16 and Final 8 appearances to go along with the Final 4's and national titles.

Billys accomplishments are second only to Coach K.'s among active coaches.

[jhenderson251]

It seems like the only statistic they really used for this article was $/point. By that logic, Nick Saban is one of the most overrated coaches in college football, and Dana Holgerson is a great value.

Yes..... I noticed that, though it would have been equally bad a year ago. Some one sent me this bc we were debating Billy's place in college bball hierarchy. This was part of his counter. I know it is not timely, however.

I still remember the Kentucky trolls years ago arguing that Donovan was equivalent with Gottfried and Stansbury. Then we won consecutive national titles, while they fired Tubby, hired and fired the alcoholic, and needed the age limit to get back on top. Yep, Donovan is exactly like other white SEC head coaches under 50 save that he has more NCAA rings and championship game appearances than the rest of the coaches in the league--combined.

Please. I'm hoping you'd just like to believe that and are still in the process of convincing yourself. Most on this board come accross quite confident (as they should) after Florida's success. Your many statements like this one expose the fact that you're still insecure and somewhat obsessed. Still got an axe to grind apparently. Its sad.

How dare you! Uk fans have never been wrong but also never wanted billy. Please note uk never went after hiring billy and there was never a thread on their message board talking about wanting him or that it was a done deal. They never wanted him.

Wasn't Nimrod some unpopular and stupid fellow in the old Jewish writings (of course, all Goy were both unpopular and stupid in those scriptures)? Or was he perhaps a Jew. I can't recall.

This article does appear a bit off base.

He was also a rarely-used, imported guard for the Forida Gators.

I thought it was so bad that it was funny . . And thus worth posting.
You seem to disagree

Nimrod was a Gator, lest we forget. :ninja:

Not once, but twice. And don't be suprised if it starts again when Cal heads to the NBA in a few years.

[tommyuf21]

Just for kicks, I looked up the idiom Nimrod. In the 15th century, it was used to describe a tyrant. In recent times, Bugs Bunny once used the word to describe Elmer Fudd.

Anyone at all informed about UK's hiring process following Tubby and G's departure knows Billy was contacted both times. It went much further than that the first go round supposedly. While the "Billy's wife shopping for a horse farm" crap wasn't true, obviously, many "close to the process" were very convinced Donovan was coming and say he had a last minute (Magic-esque) change of heart.

No one that I know of has gone on the record with the above story, however it'd take absolute denial to suggest Billy wasn't pursued by UK. Veratiously the first time, much more tepidly the second. According to Mike Pratt (who was on the hiring committee), the 3 coaches in contention the 2nd go round were Donovan, Cal and Izzo. According to him (what he's willing to say), there was interest only from Cal and Izzo and the decision may have been influenced by Cal's earlier exit from the NCAA tourney that year.

Lastly, UK would be dumb (although I can't imagine they'd expect anything but a "no") not to contact Donovan again when Cal leaves. You guys would have to agree with this, right? Evidently, I've heard several people, including Pratt, say Izzo would be the first, or at least among the first, called if/when Cal leaves. Now wouldn't be a good time for this to happen as there aren't tons of great options currently.

I suppose the attitudes of many UK fans, boosters and administration towards us is what fires up my resentment about these episodes.

They just felt entitled to come in and take our coach, no questions asked. I'll never forget the first time. I was driving down to Virginia to see my sister and listening to them on ESPN radio for 8 hours putting UF down the day we played George Mason in the Final Four. It was such a big day for UF, but all they wanted to talk about was Billy leaving for UK. If there was a day for road rage, that was it.

That is nothing more than someone's opinion in which weighs no more than ours.
