Florida assistant takes Marshall job

According to the Associated Press, "With two national championships on his resume, Donnie Jones returned to his home state with big hopes for Marshall basketball... Jones was an assistant at Florida, helping the Gators win two straight NCAA titles. His hiring at Marshall was announced by Florida coach Billy Donovan a day earlier during a championship celebration... Jones replaces Ron Jirsa, who was fired after a 43-74 record in four seasons. Jones now wants to change the mind-set at Marshall, bringing a bit of Florida with him." Great hire by the Thundering Herd. How much of a loss for the Gators?

Sounds like a good hire for Marshall. Any ideas on who will replace him at Florida?
