Keep Billy? Fire Billy? We're Confused

Posted May 23rd 2007 4:06PM by Ryan Ferguson

Billy Donovan's contract saga has built enough momentum to spawn websites dedicated to re-hiring Florida's championship head coach.From KeepBillyDonovan.com:

"Where's Billy's Contract? What's taking this long? Is he leaving the University of Florida for the NBA? Will Billy be coaching the Magic? I am Fred Marks, a Gator fan and I created www.keepbillydonovan.com with the goal of persuading UF supporters to do all they can to make sure coach Billy Donovan remains at Florida."

I suppose you could call this site the one-dimensional inverse of FireBilly.com, a site dedicated to Kentucky head coach Billy Gillispie -- although that site is (perversely?) dedicated to keeping, not firing, Billy G. around as well.Keep Billy D. Fire Billy G.?Strange times in the blogosphere. Strange times.

Hey, when did you relaunch this site? I remember reading about keepbillydonovan.com immediately following the NCAA championship...

Hey Bill from Gainesville,

The fire Billy G. site was taken to keep someone else from taking it and trying to get rid of him. It was also done when Tubby was hired. It's a site to keep him, not fire him you dope.
