Billy Donovan Wants To Coach The Deaner

Maybe not. But, he will be coaching Travis Diener. It's official, Billy Donovan has agreed to become the head coach of the Orlando Magic.

I've seen people saying Donovan will be just like Rick Pitino, expecting Donovan will fail to continue his success in the NBA. Personally, I'm not worried about that. As far as Georgia is concerned, this being like Pitino would be very bad. The reason being that Kentucky won a national title under Tubby Smith the first year after Pitino left. As far as that goes, I don't see this being like the Pitino situation. Florida just lost too much. Add that to having the players learn a new system doesn't bode well for a third straight national title.

I think this will help Georgia get one step closer to the goal of being a top team in the always tough SEC East.
