New Thunder Head Coach.

Yes, this forum needs visitors and no, the Thunder don't have a new coach yet. I'm hearing some rumblings that Donovan is a possibility. I've also seen Tony Shalhoub impersonator Ettore Messina also being mentioned. What is clear is that presti will choose a classy, straight- by-the-book guy that looks good in a suit.

I'm back in Pistonville so if there are any rumors/updates plz feel free to share.

Well someone claims to have seen Coach K in Edmond so a few have been having some fun with that. Even decided Donovan was coming as his assistant.

As for real information, not much out there.

Remember when Florida was racking up national championship trophies in both basketball and football and were the envy of the rest of the revenue sport college world? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And so does Bill Donovan, so that's why he probably wants to go back to coaching pro players like his two title teams, rather than the scrubs he's been recruiting at UF ever since his star studded lineup went NBA on him.

I love watching Florida lose. Gives me hope that all these SEC high horse teams are gonna be abysmal in less than a decade too

I'm hearing that its looking to be donovans ifn he wants it. No other names mentioned. Haven't heard anything on K. Maybe he was in Edmond for some sightseeing.

I know Edmond is not Norman North, but Edmond *is* north of Norman

Listening to the ticket up here and they just reported bd has been hired.

I think I heard $30M over 5 years. I wonder if he demanded to be paid more than Bob Stoops?

Donovan's not been at the top in a while. What has he had to say about that(at FU)?

Last year sucked, but he went to the Elite 8 the 4 years previously. In 2013-2014, Florida was the best team in the country, and would have won the championship if the NCAA tournament resembled anything close to the NBA playoffs.
