I'm not sure at this point.
"Realistic" depends on how serious the AD is in building basketball back up. Will they try to get a big name? Swing for the fences?
I don't know. At this point, it's speculation on whether or not White is out.

Y’all seem to keep referring to me as a “Mike White” defender. Just find it funny how most can call themselves Gator fans and not cheer for their team (this includes the coach). He runs a clean program and is very well liked. Would you rather be LSU? Look at that mess.
Truth be told, you all should get ready for another year of Mike White. He’s had enough excuses from injuries and bad bounces that he could get another year. The only way I see him parting is if it’s mutual or we have a home run hire ready to go (highly unlikely).
The bigger issue is we’re stuck with these up and coming coaches until the program is given a serious look. Our facilities are way behind the blue bloods. Our support has an even further gap. Throw in fair weather fans and everything else and this place is not so appealing to good coaches.
Just my 2 cents. Let’s see what happens.

Thanks for the insight Forever.
I think Mike White may step down.
If not, next year will be a make or break year for the entire program (it's gone way beyond make or break for the Mike White Era). Sticking with White and continuing on this trajectory another year would pretty much bury basketball for a decade. Unless Mike White finds some "magic" and turns it around, of course. I don't know if he would either way.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Mike whites biggest problem has been that he can not keep his players here they enter the portal and then he either doesn't evaluate the portal correctly or just takes the only players that will come play for him.
Either way his evaluation of talent is not great and he will have to hit the portal hard again after the season. Hopefully get some better players out of it this go around.
He runs a clean program and he handled the Johnson situation unbelievable well. So if he does stay one more year I truly believe it will be make a nice run or it's syanora!!!

As much as I'd prefer that this be his last year, and would be ecstatic if he left/got fired, I think I'd be able to stomach one more year of Mike White. Wouldn't like it, but I'd be able to stomach it.
This isn't like the toxic Mullen situation where the players stopped trying to play hard, Mullen completely quit recruiting, and it was clear that he wanted to quit but couldn't walk away from a paycheck that he'd never see again. I am certain that if Stricklin didn't fire Mullen when he did, Gator football would've ended up a dead program the likes of Tennessee or Nebraska if Mullen had more time to poison the program.
Mike White, on the other hand, is trying, the players are still trying. They're just not that good.

Sounds like it was mutual. Good luck Mike White, other than the 2 times we will play you a year.

I like MW as a person but this is odd 
. I'm glad for the change it was best for the both parties.
