I seriously can't see Donovan leaving Florida, especially to go to another team in the SEC. That would be the ultimate treachery.

I agree with you 100% but Donovan has made no remarks as to denying whether he will leave Florida and head for Kentucky. We really just don't know and probably won't know until after the tournament and into the offseason.

Free advice - go for the 50-1. Obviously that was too many names for me to keep track of.

I've always liked them
I think they will strike out with the big names they're after and end up with Travis Ford

Coaching Rumor Mill Has Plenty of Grist
By John Feinstein
"A guy from Kentucky just told me that my name had come up for the job," Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim said, laughing. "I told him if Kentucky had about $8 million a year, I might consider it." He paused. "You know, actually, that's not true. I wouldn't take that job for $8 million a year."
Tubby Smith, who left Kentucky to take the Minnesota job a week ago, walked by as Boeheim was speaking. Someone asked him if he might take the Kentucky job, because every other coach in the country had been mentioned at some point. "Now that," he said, "would be a good rumor to start."
It might not be the craziest one before the week is over. Everywhere Smith turned, he was being congratulated -- not so much for becoming the coach at Minnesota as for no longer being the coach at Kentucky.
Most people right now believe Kentucky will make a massive play -- the latest rumored number is $4 million a year -- for Florida Coach Billy Donovan once the Final Four is over. Most people expect Florida will match whatever Kentucky offers, and Donovan will turn it down.
Next in line, if you believe the whispers, is Texas Coach Rick Barnes -- except Barnes doesn't want the job either. Nor does Michigan State's Tom Izzo. Marquette's Tom Crean's name is also being tossed around. Memphis's John Calipari might be a fit, but he just signed a new long-term contract.
