Billy Donovan. He wants it all and he has a big enough ego to get it. No matter how many championships Florida wins, it will always be a football school. He has already expressed major interest and is scheduled to visit. Billy Donovan to Kentucky.

I honestly believe that Billy Donovan is angling for a pay raise and is using the nearly limitless coffers of the University of Kentucky as leverage in negotiations with Jeremy Foley.
The nature of the Kentucky job is very unique. A look at the Cat's Pause and other sites such as firetubbysmith.com illustrate a devotion to their program normally reserved for football in the SEC. While Kentucky and Rupp Arena may be a storied place to work and play, they are going to have difficulty fielding a solid team that can compete for an SEC championship or a deep tournament run with the talent that they have now and the talent that is coming in.
An ideal coach for the job will be a very successful coach in a program that does not have the national prominance or recruitng prowess of Kentucky, but has otherwise succeeded admirably. The first name that comes to mind is Calipari with Memphis. Kentucky will not be looking for a failed NBA coach or an older coach as they generally keep coaches for a very long time (5 coaches since 1930s). There are a couple of other coaches with mid majors that have a decent chance, but the job is really between Calipari and Donovan.
Donovan may be the top choice with many of the alumni both for his talent and the ability to wound Florida at the same time. Donovan's position at Florida will make it difficult for him to leave there and Calipari has ties to the recruiting region and national prominance.

No, Jeromey Foley, the advert of the gators pronounced it himself he will not enable Billy flow. Florida can particularly journey or out-due any supply that Kentucky can supply. additionally via staying Billy may be in a utility that he created and helped geared up, not some washed up utility, residing off their history like Kenutcky. he will have the sport enthusiasts he recruited, which he has a super recruiting type coming in, particularly magnificent 5 indoors the country and all of his kin is in Florida so shifting may be an considerable soreness for his kin who're happy at Florida. And the followers at Florida are particularly as passionate with the aid of actual fact those at Kentucky. the only difference is that the Kentucky followers have not have been given diverse interest to maintain, with the aid of actual fact all their diverse events suck and their followers are unforgiving and constantly have unreasonable expectancies. ...So suited right this is the genuine question: How can Billy Donovan probable leave a team that he has particularly gained 2 consectutive national championships with?
