The Orlando Magic have made a whopping offer Thursday morning to Florida Gators basketball coach Billy Donovan, sources close to the situation told the Orlando Sentinel.

The Magic expect Donovan to accept the offer to replace Brian Hill as the head coach by the end of the week.

Donovan, 42, led the Gators to back-to-back NCAA titles.

The Magic fired Hill last week after back-to-back losing seasons.

Just hear the news...I am a huge Orlando Magic fan, have been since the beginning since I lived in Orlando when the team started....I am not sure how I feel about this move as college coaches rarely translate to the NBA...but it can't be much worse then Brian Hill who refused to ever make any kind of adjustments during games...

Will be interesting, if indeed this is true.

I found this blog the other day, this guy seems to think its already a done deal
