Jeremy Foley was on my s--- list regarding his good friend Zook. He was gracious enough to engage in emails with me about the future of Gator athletics. Thankfully he hired Meyer.
Donovan got back-to-back national championships, and Meyer led the football team to two national championships.
I think Foley got too comfortable. Unfortunately in his profession, it's all about "What have you done for me lately?" Basketball -- Donovan isn't recruiting well or coaching well. Our players aren't fast or big and don't shoot well. Football -- well, it speaks for itself.
Time for some changes.
Just my humble opinion. Hubby agrees.

Football is one thing, but maybe your expectations for basketball are too high. Florida won back-to-back national titles and everyone expects them to be a powerhouse every year now. That may sound reasonable, but think about it this way: That two year period for Florida was only 2 wins better than the current run Butler is on. Florida has been to the elite eight only 4 times in the past 18 years. And those have been the best 18 years of the programs history!
Billy Donovan has taken the program from mediocre to very good.
