Take a year off Billy, go chill out on the beach we'll be waiting for you next year, brother

Donovan and the Bulls have parted ways

My wild guess is that Donovan will be at Kansas by the summer.

If so, we'll see what 20 years away from the college game has done for his ability.

I really don't believe he is itching to come back to the college game. I wouldn't be surprised if some lower NBA team offers him and he retires in the NBA.

I agree with you. I think it's more likely he has no interest in college. That was why I said "wild guess".

Or he may move into a broadcast booth.

It would be a sweet gig.

Why would we even want Donovan when we've got MARK POPE??? The very definition of mediocre! I mean, come on now....Billy Gillespie results without the drunken bar behavior chasing co-eds...makes for great forum chatter - some wanting him gone while others defend him. Disappointment can then turn into curiosity with some people taking bets on how much longer he can keep his job while others complain about another lost recruiting battle as he struggles to assemble a roster. We'll be talked about all over the college basketball landscape....why would we want Billy Donovan when we've got all that?

Because Donovan is a 2x National Champion, 5th best Tournament Win Percentage, and after a decade in the NBA as a coach he now has the credentials for that level. I think recruits will be more open to see that resume and play for him vs Pope who has an extremely light resume in comparison, bizarre sub patterns which loses games/momentum in game and tries to blame "fatigue" when nobody is tired if you believe Jelavic.

Excellent choices. Even though he likely wouldn't even consider, I'd still add Tommy Lloyd to the list and round out a top 5 with TJ Otzelberger.
