Florida hopes to have a new coach in the near future, and it could be a familiar face.

AD Jeremy Foley planned to meet with Virginia Commonwealth coach Anthony Grant on Saturday, a person familiar with the search process told The Associated Press, and likely will offer him the job. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the search is ongoing.  

Grant spent 12 years as one of Billy Donovan's top assistants, including 10 seasons in Gainesville. He left the Gators for VCU in 2006 -- his contract pays $400,000 annually -- and led the Rams to the NCAA tournament in his first season. VCU upset Duke in the opening round.
