    I’ve seen a couple of off-handed comments from posters that CMW and his “camp” may be looking to leave UF. Can someone please enlighten the rest of us and cite sources? I’ve never seen that anywhere and he’s got a really solid class coming in.

    Just wondering where that info is coming from about CMW.

    Heard the same. Might not be a popular thing to say but I hope he returns.
    If you look at the classes he has brought in he had done better then the rankings.
    He has had some good players not saying that just not enough and has had a few good ones leave. That's all on him that's part of being a coach.
    With the 3 freshmen coming in and he keeps JJ, Gerkek, Reeves, lane, Kennedy, Fleming, Felder should be one of his best teams.
    Could use a true PG but should be a deep team.
    If he does not come back will wish him well and get behind the new coach.
    Injuries have hurt but even healthy we lost games we should not of.

    CMW has been given every chance, that we know of. If he doesn't come back, does that make it likely due to a lack of support from the administration?

    He isn’t leaving any money on the table. Guarantee he sticks around. He won’t land a better job than UF based on what he has accomplished here. I wouldn’t call us a stepping stone job either because we can pay top dollar if need be if we ever did have another school try to poach our coach.

    If he leaves, I think it is a mutual parting of the ways and he is prepared to move on nobly. I have to believe if it is about income, he stays until Stricklin makes him leave.

    Every chance? You think he should have been fired for only making the NCAA tourney and winning a game in each for the last 4 years?

    I believe what you are referring to stems from some posts by a person named Bullis, who used to post here on the 'Net board. These were posted on another site and I can't link or verify. Some folks here seemed to gain confidence that CMW would be out (if by choice) from those communications. @akaGatorhoops knows Bullis and might be able to elaborate.

    "CMW has been given every chance" I take that as he could have been let go but was given every chance. You tell me what you meant if not that. I don't believe he had to be given any chance as he had done well enough by far to keep his job.

    Yeah, aka may know more, I read a couple posts alluding to the fact CMW may not be happy / looking at a possible change but no specifics, no background.

    tea is absolutely right, he certainly won't move on to a higher paying gig, IMO.

    The marriage may not be ideal at the moment but I certainly don't see any opportunity opening up with better pay or more prestige than what he has right now.

    I certainly could believe that a less stressful gig at a smaller school might be a possibility and see no shame in that if that's true.

    How about win more than one game, especially when a gift is laid in his lap like last year. There was no reason not to advance to the Sweet 16 when facing Oral Roberts, yet we lost, and not in a new manner. We lost that game when White had the offense start playing stall ball with a lead too soon, which allowed the other team to get momentum and the offense couldn’t turn it back on. The same mistake White had been making in years 3-4 was still being made in year 7.

    If we want to be a slightly above average team with head-scratching losses, then White is our coach. But I think Billy set us up to be more than what we have achieved under White.

    Regarding the NCAA tournament, you could say similar things about Mullen and McElwein. They had winning seasons and made it to bowl games each year, so what more could we want? How about a consistent team that can compete with the big boys. We had that under Billy, and absent the Sweet 16 team in year 3(?), we haven’t seen that under White.

    He’s frustrating but hasn’t even come close to fire-worthy. If he leaves, it’s because he just doesn’t like this dynamic/environment/noise and both parties think they can do better. Of course, I know nothing and am guessing but message board, so…

    He's a good coach. Think he had gotten better.
    With the injures we have had and how bad we shot all year till last few games to win 19 is a great job.
    We will make sweet 16 and people will say same ole White but only a few thought we would make dance.
    Needs to bring in another class like the one coming in next year and think we will be good most years. Don't expect many to agree with me but it's just my opinion.
    I know Mr Glover does not (Tampa)
