I remember Nolan after '95. I always thought he "could" take us back but even though we were two (at least) good recruiting classes away from that I never turned on him. A title and 3 final fours bought him a lifetime pass as far as I was concerned.

What about you? Seems like he should never have a hot seat. But what of he still gets talent but never passes the Elite 8. Is it hot then?

Would you ever turn on him? What would it take? Losing seasons surely but what about 20 years of elite 8s?

For Auburn, that's statue worthy. But Florida has already been to the mountaintop. You okay with never getting back to the final 4 in your lifetime? Would an elite 8 "only" mean lifetime contract or eventual hot seat?

Curious. Considering y'all have actually won titles.

There are no nba locks on his team. His seat is not warm at all. He just needs to start recruiting dirty like everyone but ug.

You are just an average arky troll.

Richardson didn't make it out of the first weekend of the tournament in his final six seasons.

Unless Billy's program suddenly becomes a dumpster fire (3 straight Elite Eights is far from that), then his job will never be in question as long as he wants it.

Barring something crazy, I hope he remains as long as possible.

WTF. Donovan has something like 21 straight 20+ win seasons.

Arky should worry about 'getting there' before worrying about if another team 'gets there' often enough.

I think Billy D killed his momentum when he resigned to coach in the NBA and then changed his mind. It was a huge distraction for him and something you don't need in recruiting against other schools.

Even if he never wins another title, gets to the final 4, as long as the team is competitive and represents the U, In my opinion, Billy D. has a job for life. Go Gators
