Georgia hiring Mike White

[Tennessee Vols Fan!!!!]

Damn, not a horrific hire, but definitely not a good one.

 

[volman128]

IOW they're taking him off Florida's hands.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So Mike is pulling the Cuonzo move?

 

[VolArmy74]

I guess Florida feels pretty lucky about now.

 

[gordonr24]

That’s a WTF if I’ve ever heard one. But I bet he left Florida because he saw the writing on the wall. Hot seat next year.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Lmao, Florida fans have to be celebrating. Not even a lateral move for White. Is that even an upgrade over Crean?

 

[ndubvols]

I don’t think mike white is a great coach, but definitely don’t think he’s a bad one. Following Billy Donovan isn’t an easy task but he’s done fairly well there, not sure how committed Georgia is to winning though

 

[DuckInAPen]

I've liked White at Florida and Crean at Georgia. Both those programs should have shown more patience (decades more patience).

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Florida can hire Tom Crean now.

 

[Volprofch05]

He wants to be closer to Danny

 

[Delmar]

Bless their hearts.

The move from Florida to Georgia is an obvious downgrade to the current cellar, Georgia's commitment to basketball is slightly above club sport level, but if Georgia and Tech ever get back on track, the biggest loser will be Brice Pearl as his recruiting set spot is metro Atlanta.

Pearl to Gainsville?

I think White is coming because of Georgia’s beautiful basketball facilities.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

And to think this dude could have been our coach.

 

[lostsheep]

My, how the table turn.
If I remember correctly, White wasn’t interested in the Tennessee job when we approached him, wanting to wait on a better job.
Now he’s at Georgia, trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Penny "fists" Hardaway got tapped today, not sure Memphis is tourney eligible,

Penny to Gaisville, he made a lot of money in Orlando back in the day,

 

[StrangeVol]

Well, at least we now know where a "dead man walking" at Florida goes...

Seems a good fit to me.

 

[butchna]

Great hire…for us! Gotta sweat Florida upgrade.

 

[malibuvol]

Let's hope that he doesn't get any closer...

Looks like the Legion of Doom from Superfriends

 

[DiderotsGhost]

LOL.

They probably did Florida a favor. White wasn't bad, but he wasn't good either. And Florida can be a powerhouse.
