Former Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan is considered one of the better college basketball coaches we've seen in recent decades.
Donovan, who won a whole lot during his time at the University of Florida, truly had a decorated college coaching career. He also did rather well for himself during his time in the NBA, as there's a reason why he was a head coach from 2015 to 2026, coaching the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Bulls.
Donovan, who reports indicate is still interested in coaching in the future, is only 61 years old and could be a fit for multiple college programs that are looking to either stay at the top or get over the top.
According to the latest, he's now being viewed as a potential coaching option for the University of Michigan.
“If the Wolverines are looking for a coach with experience defending a national championship, few candidates fit better in that regard than Billy Donovan. There are no questions regarding Donovan's college bona fides after he won back-to-back championships with Florida in 2007 and 2008 and he is currently unemployed after parting ways with the Chicago Bulls at the end of the NBA season,” Mike Phillips wrote.
Dusty May's decision to become the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks definitely makes things interesting in the college basketball world. Michigan has already announced an interim head coach, so Donovan would have to be the guy the following year.
It would be a very intriguing option for a Michigan program that's shown it's one of the best in the country.
