Not to add to the existing pressure and speculation, but
Florida Today
Peter Kerasotis May 27th, 2007
"...did anybody else notice that Donovan's statement Thursday was both well-worded and weak? Said Billy, "My focus is on coaching at the University of Florida." Oooh. That should silence speculation.
Just like when the Kentucky job was open, Billy still can't utter the four words that would stop runaway rumors: I am not interested. It's really not that hard. But he can't do it..
Even if Donovan does sign his contract extension with UF (and I think the signing of the Treaty of Versailles happened quicker), he's created a lot of doubt for future recruits. Really, does anyone believe he won't one day go to the NBA?. . ."

How 'bout those "lifetime" contracts like Coach K has...can we lock up Donovan till he turns 65?!?
Oooh, Billy and the NBA. It's the best romance story of the decade. I hope it ends in heartache.
Billy D, be kind to me
Never doubt, scream and shout
We love you true, through and through
Please be by our side
Forever and a day, I smile
Gator Nation remain strong. We will be together for a long time. Billy and Urban 4 life.
W.W.S.D. What Would Spurrier Do?
He'd leave us.
Billy, are you a "Spurrier"?
Thank you for your years Billy. If you have to go, just don't you try to return.
But I would pray you stay.
Billy is a winner. He can do whatever he wants.
Dr. Donovan and Dr. Machen. Can't we all get along?
Billy, it hurts. All this makes for restless nights. He owes us pepto bismol
The Magic have come here to defeat the Gators. Well, welcome to Florida. Where the Gators growl
Gator fans are scarred at the prospect of loosing Billy...who would blame us?
What time is it, Billy time
What time is it, Billy time
Would it be financially possible to pay Donovan $5MM a year like the NBA could? I mean, what's the difference btw $3.5MM and $5MM? Keeping Donovan, maybe
What's the advantage of the Magic having Donovan. Oh wait, they can get an arena by using him. Go ahead Donovan, be used in Orlando or be loved in Gainesville. The choice is yours...
Perfect, Donovan is perfect.
Donovan, are you bored? Is that why you are flirting with the enemy?
A whole mess of national championship titles sounds good to me...lets keepbillydonovan.com
This is what you get for keeping Billy Donovan Florida. Ryan Ferguson is the biggest homer I've ever read in my life and he has been completely wrong since the day Tubby Smith left...I love it.
EAT THAT CROW BEEOTCH.
thanks for deserting the Gator fans Billy. I won't be following you anymore. Guess the $2M more a year means more to you. Hope you have the same experience Spurrier did and return to college fans (but not Gainesville). I'm still a die-hard Gator fan and will continue to support whomever replaces you. Hope your're unhappy in your new job. Thanks for nothing!
