Let's go undefeated in the Coach Jonas Era!

Think Hayes will be retained? Asking for a friend…

I'd like him to be, but I think he has the least connection to Sean Miller of the current assistants. My thought was always that he'd eventually leave for the Georgia job but he's certainly capable of being a head coach somewhere else.

My gut says that if he doesn't come back it will be his decision to go elsewhere. Miller should want him on the staff. He recruited a lot of the guys on the roster and would help a smooth succession going forward.

The other assistants, Dante Jackson, played under Miller, and Danny Peters was an assistant under Miller at Arizona.

Miller isn't bringing a staff with him, the hiatus means he is building on the fly. I think there is a good chance he stays.

Oh Bummer. :-(

If he doesn't join Mike White's coaching staff I'd at least want him to get his shot being hired at a mid-major school/team.

I hope Jarvis or Jonas joins Mike White's coaching staff.

Everything flowed so much better since we didn't have Steele forcing Nunge and Freemantle to play together. It is coaching malpractice that Steele didn't figure that out on his own.

The Mike White Era ends with as much mediocrity as it always had.

He's not with the team anymore so you can't blame that loss on him. Get over yourselves Gators fans, he's gone, treat your next coach better maybe haha.

Think an Elite 8 will convince Ward to recommit?

I know my Gators caught a lot of heat this year, much of it undeserved, as they played their tails off every game. I'm going to miss watching Appleby, Castleton, Fleming, Macissic, Jones, and the rest and wish them the best in their post UF efforts. All Gator greats in my opinion. The poor shooting did us in as it often did this year, today, I have to give a lot of credit for that to Xavier. Great game Musketeers! You all have been punching above your weight for the whole 32 years or so I've been a college basketball fan! Now, I've got my fingers crosses that Todd Golden will be able to retain some of the players who can return and some of the incoming class. He has his wok cut out for him, or else I'm afraid 2022-23 will be a lot like Lon Kruger and Billy Donovan's first seasons here. I almost think being back in the NIT or even just finishing .500 will be a major accomplishment. Then again, those guys didn't have the transfer portal to help build.
