If he successfully gets out of this deal, it's almost a given that he never coaches in the NBA. Who's going to take a chance on a wishy-washy college coach, and since Florida's peaked, he's got nowhere to go but down until he completely rebuilds the program.

Well if he gets out apparently part of the agreement is that he's not allowed to coach in the NBA for the next 5 years. From what I understand, and this is not necessarily to blame the Magic, Orlando should have just given him a little more time to think about it but they essentially gave him a Friday ultimatum and he felt pressured into making a decision.
