Yes, Kentucky fans might want Billy Donovan, but that doesn't mean they're going to get him. This whole situation reminds me of Indiana and John Calipari last year.
Donovan has just won 1 basketball championship, and is pretty darn close to winning another. Just saying that "it's Kentucky" doesn't cut it anymore. Kentucky fans have to realize that their program has been barely relevant for the past 10 years.
After the way the fans treated Tubby Smith, Donovan would be an idiot to leave. I'm sure he'll get an offer. Florida's a huge state school, they'll beat it, and then he'll go back home. Kentucky fans will cry and they'll have to go search for another job.
IMO, the Michigan and Kentucky jobs are very similar...seemingly attractive on the surface but with huge pressure to win and terrible fans gunning for your throat.
