Don’t make the tournament this season and his job should be the line in 2026.

I think that would mean he is on watch next year, not now.

You will fire him eventually might as well do it now.

I didn’t love how excited Florida fans were when we hired him. Seems to have raised the floor but still not good enough.

Why does he consistently fall apart in the second half of the season? I think at this point it can’t just be blamed on scheduling quirks.

We still have to play @ UGA later this month. Don't take any road game for granted.

It's like the team goes to poo the second football season is over & people start paying attention to them. Great way to build up the fanbase...

I know some of it is just playing lots of better teams in a stacked conference but at this point it's a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

Also - that court was ugly AF & claustrophobic. They really need to lean into the white & red for bball instead of so much gray/black.

Because schematically he has not changed at all in terms of his offensive philosophy.

His teams play hard and defend, but his UF team were largely driven by Donovan recruits like Allen, Chiozza, and Robinson.

When it was largely White's recruits, the system was so awful, stagnant, and predictable, that the reason Florida scored was largely due to offensive talent.

He has improved the program without a doubt, but you are just like any other fans, once you go from the cellar to the bubble you are going to raise your expectations and want to take the next step.

This team at least shows a pulse most of the time. That is an improvement over what had been going on in Athens.

Georgia can not recruit the level of athlete Tenn, Fla and Aub recruit.

Why? There should be enough HS talent in GA to be competitive.

Georgia can definitely recruit basketball at a high level, the only problem is Mike White can't do that

Auburn has traditionally been one of the worst basketball programs in the country. A lot worse than Georgia. Pearl and some NIL/booster commitment is the only difference.

The latter may be an issue as White was certainly a "safe" choice instead of a swing for the fences. Good coach that's not going to be a doormat but extremely unlikely to do what Nate Oats or Todd Golden have.

May be the decision makers are OK enough with that to keep giving him time.

The man found a way to lose with Andrew Nembhard and Tre Mann in the backcourt with Kerry Blackshear down low. He is trash can juice.

You are clueless. We are the flagship university in the most talent-rich recruiting state in college basketball.

Nah, it's systemic, coach matters not.
