- The extension follows Golden's success leading the Gators to the program's third national title in 2025, during which he posted a 36-4 record.
- Golden will earn $7.5 million next season, up from $6 million, ranking him fourth nationally behind Kansas' Bill Self, UConn's Dan Hurley, and Arkansas' John Calipari.
