As most people know by now, Mike White from Louisiana Tech has been hired as the new coach of the Gators and he has some big shoes to fill. Donovan won back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007, he got to four Final Fours, won SEC Coach of the Year three times, and won the SEC Tournament Title four times.
