Donovan's Marshall Press Conference

Billy Donovan is at Marshall to speak at a dinner tonight, but he also had a press conference this afternoon which I spent over an hour watching. Most of that time was spent looking at a tarp and trying to listen to what the media was talking about.

When Donovan finally arrived, he was asked about his future, and he said that he wasn't going to talk about himself. After talking about Marshall and their search for a head coach, Billy started talking about his situation. He said he needed time to think, and they he hasn't yet talked to anybody about another job. He said that he's happy at Florida, but also that needed some time to really think about his future and discuss it with his wife. He seemed to understand that most people wanted to get a decision from him soon, but he said that he would take as much time as he needed.

It really is so hard to read what he is going to do. If you go by what he says, then he has not made up his mind. But, I find it hard to believe that he still hasn't talked to anybody about the Kentucky job. It may be that Kentucky is going to officially offer the job to Donovan until they know what his answer will be. This probably will all go on through his agent. I don't see how Kentucky can wait more than a few more days to name a coach considering the signing period is coming up next week, and we have 2 scholarships still open.

I think Billy is doing his best to be respectful of both Florida and Kentucky, but I also think he isn't telling the whole truth, which I don't blame him for. I predict that UK will have an answer by Friday.
