Is it time for the Mike White era to end?
- Thread starter Countygator1
- Start date
Just one of a few problems, Nate Oates is an actual good coach, unlike Mike White.
A lot of UK fans aren’t happy with the directions of the BB program right now. Here’s a picture of the Rupp Atena crowd from a recent weeknight game against a non-descript opponent
The piss-poor OOC schedule has alienated a lot of fans. The data you cite in your post confirms this.
Yet, as they have done for years, UK fans will continually make fun of UF's attendence. However, as a blueblood bb program, this is more embarrassing, regardless what the schedule is.
So much irony
Wow! Now our loss to 1-8 Texas Southern doesn't look so bad!
Everybody knows that it's losing games that really matter in college B-Ball, that's why they play the games, to see who loses a particular game, and I'm with you guys on that standard of judging coaching / HC's.
That Mike White loss to TxS should have gotten him fired on the spot, no excuses.
And to be fair across the board, every player should have lost their ship over it.
Has anyone approached the brain-dead AD on why that firing hasn't happened yet?

Mike White should have been fired after pulling his patented slow down crap when he has a big lead which kept us from making the Sweet 16.
The AD deserves a little slack for a bit for not allowing Mullen to make the turnaround take even longer.
Absolutely Mr Fever. Him losing 5 games when leading with 5 minutes to go in a game is totally inexcusable for a HC. He should have been fired after the 1st one, much less after letting that happen 5 times in 6 seasons....

Just a FYI bit of trivia that doesn't mean a thing....

The Bottom 5 are all SECw teams....
While 6 of the Top 7 are SECe teams...
And only 1 of those 14 teams has been in every Dance....
Absolutely NOT.
I guess you missed this: "Just a FYI bit of trivia that doesn't mean a thing...."
No NC's, then fire his loser ass and bring in a coach that is willing to set everything aside to win. Pretty simple really, so when are you going after the AD to pursue it?
You are as bad at sarcasm as you are everything else.
I'm sorry folks but some of you are just not realistic. Most of the teams in the country will NEVER see a NC trophy in football, basketball or baseball. We have all of them. Look at the coaching carousel in colleges. You get rid of one you have decided is a dud, get new one and more than likely in 3 or 4 years you are doing it all over again. Most of the time it costs big buck to get rid of them and they laugh all the way to the bank. I know you want instant gratification but more than likely you just aren't going to find it. I no longer care if you fire White, I thought he has done a pretty good job , but what in the he-- do I know? As always, just expressing MHO........jim
Thinking like that will keep you from winning championships again.
I'm all for being patient, but we are past that point. He is who he is, and it's not a title winning coach.
I have to give MW a lot of credit with this rag tag team he’s had to put together. What with all the transfers out and NBA jumpers just to be competitive is something. they are bound to get better.
While your judgment is very important to me in specific, and to my life in general.
I'm so sorry that I'm not coming up to your high standards, but I promise to try harder in the future.
Nothing in my life could be better than having you appreciate me in some small way....
Actually his last attempt at sarcasm wasn’t bad....but I see you’re withholding the approval he so desperately cherishes
You White haters have been right all along, while I'm just as clueless as I've always been.
It's long past time to fire Mike White and then get a quality coach in here that knows all the tricks and is willing to use them and do anything else to win championships, like it used to be...

UF goes on a rare 2 game winning streak yet you feeling White deserves another extension?🙄
You really should get someone to read and explain the posts to you, because I'm WOKE now, and I'm with the the VAST MAJORITY here that are demanding for that talent-less White chump to be fired, yesterday if not sooner....
Says the Butters Mcelwain lover. Wouldn't surprise me if you were also a Gary Darnell and Don Devoe lover.
WoW, you always show such insightful knowledge on every subject. Thanks for all of your priceless help.
I'm just glad we got rid of that awful Billy Donovan and replaced him with a championship caliber coach in White.
I'm always impressed with the solid knowledge and clear insights of CG1, but he might have gotten that last post off the rails a little bit.
Yep, HoF and 2x NC BillyD arrived at UF and he immediately gave them 2 loser seasons, and then he left UF on another loser season.
In with a 2x whimper, then out with a whimper.
While the totally incompetent Mikey never wins chit, but he has somehow never had a loser season. He just makes the Dance every single year with no One-&-Done's on his terrible no championships record as the Gators HC. He's just a mediocre coach that beats up on his weak SoS chumps, but he can't win championships and he never will. That's a now proven fact.
SO FIRE MIKE WHITE, MAKE THE HATERS DAY, because they always know best....
Classic Mike White tonight...came out flat, but then fought our way back. Cut the lead to 6 with the ball and White decides to send Appleby back into the game...didn't take long and Bama ran it back up to 11. Can we officially put him on the clock?
I can live with bad shooting just quit throwing the damn ball away.
Their coach made halftime adjustments. Our coach did nothing. Their coach kept hammering the refs, our coach got steamrolled by the officials, again. Against good opponents, our assist to turnover ratio is terrible. We missed a bunch o free throws, turned it over way too much, had lapses on defense the 2nd half and lost a game we should have won. This is a team with tons of talent, but will finish in the middle of the SEC with little to no impact in the NCAA tournament. In his 7th year, would this be acceptable from any other UF coach and program? Hell no!!
"Instant gratification"
You do realize White has been here 7 years now, right? With 1 elite 8 appearance?
Should we wait for a whole decade?
UF doesnt look close to being a contender, haven't been for years, and the future looks just as dim. Year by year, we are a bubble team or play like a bubble team in the tournament. Weve gotten used to crossing our fingers when the selection for the tourney is being made.
We know we havent deserved to be in the tourney as much as weve been placed in it. The results surprise no one.

Yep agreed 100%. 1 good year out of 7. Completely unacceptable!! Time for him to go. I’ve been on that bandwagon for about 2-3 years now but keep holding out hope that he will improve. He is who he is. Good guy bad basketball coach.
Yep always for the most part a lower seeded team that really doesn’t have much of a chance to make any tourney noise. Here we are again. In fact this year I’m not even sure we are going to make the tourney. We really only have 1 good win (Ohio State). And I don’t see us doing much in a strong SEC. Thanks to Mike for tearing down what Billy built.
