Donovan to Orlando Magic?

Email I received this evening from the President of The University of Florida:

Dear alumni and friends,

Less than a week after we all said our goodbyes to the winningest coach in UF's history, we're in the happy position of welcoming him back to The Gator Nation.

I know this has been an emotional rollercoaster ride for Gator fans everywhere. In the end, Billy followed his heart, and his heart is in college basketball and at the University of Florida. It was a hard decision but a courageous one, and I respect him tremendously for that.

So it turns out Thomas Wolfe was wrong -- you can go home again. We're glad you're here, Billy.

BR says, "It's great ... to be ... a Florida Gator!"

P.S. Billy, If you lose more than 10 games next year.......all bets are off.

From ESPN.com:

Billy Donovan will be named the head coach of the Orlando Magic on Friday, several sources have told ESPN.
The announcement is scheduled to be made at 11 a.m. ET, sources told ESPN.com's Pat Forde.
Thursday, after weeks of waiting for the University of Florida to finalize his new seven-year contract, the Magic offered Donovan a big-money deal. Sources say the deal is shorter and smaller than original reports of a six-year, $36 million deal. The contract is for five years and with a value of $27.5 million.

I know the UF folks are excited/relieved. But the question is, can you trust him now?
