Florida has agreed to a new six-year, $40.5-million contract with head coach Todd Golden that will keep him with the program through March 31, 2031, the school announced Tuesday.
Golden led the Gators to the national championship this season and is now rewarded by becoming one of the top five highest-paid coaches in the country with an annual average salary of $6.75 million, per USA Today.
“Todd has done an incredible job getting Florida men’s basketball back where it belongs,” athletic director Scott Stricklin said in a statement. “We believed in his vision, his competitive nature, and his modern approach to the game back in 2022; and he has validated that belief in a relatively short time and helped create memories of a lifetime for another generation of Gator fans.”
