He had some really good teams at UF, consistently making and winning games in the NCAA tourney. Would be a big time hire if Harlan can pull it off and major upgrade over LK.
Is he being touted as a possible candidate?
Yes
White has 4 years left on his contract. Not sure how that would play in.
Mike White’s buyout if he leaves early is $250,000 a year. Cheap in today’s contracts!
The fans there are mad at him for not being Donovan so it’s possible the buyout is flexible.
Florida fans are over there hoping and begging that it’s true. As a general rule, any time the former team/fanbase is psyched to lose the guy, it’s not a good hire

Florida fans wanted Billy Donovan out too after a few down years. Coach White’s resume is quite impressive going back over his full career. I like the fact his name is in the mix.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been any smoke for Dave Rice. The guy knows Utah, and the west. Currently an assistant at Washington. Everywhere he has been they have improved. Dave Rice to Utah
Florida has had three players transfer since the end of the season…this guy is a HARD PASS for me.
