    All you need to know about Bianchi is that Dooley once hired him at the G'ville Sun. One putz who's a pitiful writer hiring another. Kinda like Mullen hiring Grantham.

    If you are talking about the article where Bianchi says Mike White just gave a middle finger to some Gator fans and their toxic behavior with the move to Georgia, he did and they deserve it!

    Enough with the fans drove him away...dude had 7 years and never once sniffed a tournament title or conference title...time to move on for both parties...if he was that thin-skinned as basketball coach making millions, then I hope he packed up his binky and blanket

    Didn't read that article but there is one way that blaming the fans makes total sense.
    Enough Florida fans have turned away and become more apathetic to Florida Basketball. That is the reason he is gone. He saw the writing on the wall and grabbed what he could.
    There is no middle finger from either fans nor MW. Most of us respected him yet grew tired of mediocre, and sometimes ugly, play. No need for fans here to be asshats about it either.

    Well, tell Mike White welcome to college sports if he really let fan talk get to him.

    Bianchi equals clickbait thanks but I will not read what he says in this case.
    Nevertheless, what the op conveys as the middle finger is nonsense. Anybody with any sense knows that coach White had not succeeded by Gator standards. He was on his way out. As another poster stated he took what he could get. Good for the gator nation!

    What are the Gator Standards in bball ?
    We had the BD era .. A-flash year with Lon , and that’s it … We are about where we should be. So we run a guy out of here that certainly met those “standards “ and replace them with who ??? All u haters tell me who are we gonna get . The names I here are no upgrade. You don’t get Home Run hires with our pedigree. This will not turn out well . But as long as it makes the haters happy!

    We didn’t hire a full time coach until the 60’s. Donovan is literally a 1/3 of our seasons with a full time basketball coach. Throw in Kruger as well, and there’s been a decent amount of success.

    Most schools had the same coaching situations. Sloan came in the mid 60s and he was full time
    Florida sports really didn’t do anything in baseball basketball and Football until the 90s

    It corresponds to Floridas population boom. It’s not surprising when we’ve seen a rise as an athletic department, it tracks pretty closely as population took off in state.

    Who cares what Bianchi thinks? He's a no-nothing toad who just writes clickbait bs. White leaving to UGA is a win for us. And for him.

    I wish Mike well, solid person from what I can tell but it didn't work here. I liked Zook a lot too but sometimes things don't work. It's OK. No harm, no foul.
