Golden Gets Record Deal at Florida | College Basketball News

Todd Golden just locked in a jaw-dropping six-year deal making him Florida’s highest-paid coach ever, averaging $8.25M annually—with a climb to $9M by year six—and includes massive buyouts: $16M if he leaves for another college, or $3M if he jumps to the NBA. The contract also ties his departure to AD Scott Stricklin’s tenure, slashing buyout penalties if Stricklin leaves. This third extension in three years signals Florida’s full commitment after a banner 27-8 season that brought them their first SEC title since 2014—even if they fell short in the NCAA tournament.
