Golden's new Florida contract includes a buyout that shrinks over time

Golden went 63-12 with back-to-back No. 1 seeds the past two years

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 291 min read

What happened: Todd Golden has signed a six-year contract extension with Florida, according to a report. The deal's buyout clause decreases in value over the length of the contract.

Why it matters: The extension locks in the coach who led Florida to the 2025 national championship. Golden has gone a combined 63-12 over the past two seasons and delivered back-to-back No. 1 NCAA Tournament seeds for the first time in program history.

By the numbers: Golden: 63-12 combined record over the past two seasons; two consecutive No. 1 NCAA Tournament seeds.

What to watch: Florida heads into next season looking to build on last year's title run under its newly extended coach.
