March 27, 200719 yr Did I hear correctly on WLEX tonight that UK would be naming Billy D. as the new coach immediately after the final 4? Is this really a done deal? They reported a 3.5 Million per year deal with a large loyalty bonus. Where did this information come from?

March 27, 200719 yr I was also stunned! I was listening to LEX18 and it came in with breaking news concerning UK and Billy D and i was like well it's probably him staying with Florida or getting that contract extension but to my surprise it was the package his is supposed to be getting: all terms were not disclosed but reportedly around 7 year $3.5 per. How great would that be!
March 27, 200719 yr Thats the scuttlebutt. They have been working with Billy's agent on getting a deal done. If he stays the whole 7 years he will get an addition 3.5mil for loyalty bonus. Only thing supposively that would stop it from happening is Billy backing out at the last minute. Mitch is working on plan B also if it doesnt go thru. Sounds like some people that were long shots have a more legit shot then most think if Billy isnt the coach.
March 27, 200719 yr They also reported that Nick Calathes said if Donovan came to Ky he would become a Wildcat also. Lucas said he would still highly consider UK if they would hire a coach with an uptempo style of play. Lets hope D. Bird has confirmed this (if not, he may get ran out of the KY). :jump: :jump: :banana: :banana:
March 27, 200719 yr I heard it but was too cowardly to post it for fear I dreamed the information up. Those were the figures I heard as well.
March 27, 200719 yr Author It sounded like a pretty much done deal. Was hashed out thursday and friday of last week, according to reports. Maybe Billy's not going to be a Gator forever like the UF president said earlier?
March 27, 200719 yr Author If D. Bird is playing with us, I'll kick in the first $20 for his bus ticket to Anchorage....One Way!!!!
March 27, 200719 yr Whose the liar now guys? Hey I was with you the whole time, may not have posted about it but I believed you knew what you were saying! Let's just hope nothing gets in the way of him signing the deal!
