We are truly thankful for our time at the University of Florida.”įlorida’s own release on White’s departure includes a statement from Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin. In addition, the Gainesville community has been wonderful to my family and I. I will cherish our relationships forever. Your hard work, commitment and dedication was and continues to be an inspiration. Thank you to each and every one of our current and former players.
“I am extraordinarily grateful to the leadership of Scott Stricklin and to the entire Florida Athletics staff for an amazing experience during my tenure. White released a statement on Sunday night. State in 1966, only to end up back with the Gators for much of the 1980s and eventually get them to their first Sweet Sixteen in program history - and Lon Kruger, who followed taking Florida to its first Final Four in 1994 with a largely frustrating 1994-95 season and a departure for Illinois. And the only previous Florida men’s basketball coaches to leave the Gators for another collegiate job in the last 50 years are Norm Sloan - who departed Gainesville to coach N.C. The shocking news of a sitting Florida men’s football or basketball coach leaving for an SEC program, confirmed from Georgia’s side and announced by the school in sequence after the initial report, isn’t without precedent - but it hasn’t happened since football coach Bob Woodruff left Florida for Tennessee in 1963. Sources: Georgia will hire Florida's Mike White as its next head basketball coach.- Jon Rothstein March 13, 2022
