Transfer Portal Updates, New Coaching Contracts.
Welcome to the Gators Online Show! For episode 127, we discuss the latest transfer portal updates for Florida football and men’s basketball along with the new contracts for Todd Golden and Billy Napier’s assistant coaches.
We open the latest the show with an assessment of Florida’s safety position after Miami transfer Zaquan Patterson committed to Oklahoma State. We also address the Gators’ transfer haul as a whole and which needs they did — and didn’t — meet.
We then look at what’s next for men’s hoops as UF works to reload the roster — and, more specifically, its backcourt. We discuss a couple names to watch for the next potential addition after the Gators decided to move on from Desmond Claude.We then react to the new contract for Golden on the heels of his national title season. He signed a new six-year deal worth $40.5 million that will pay him $6.75M annually, which makes him the fourth-highest paid coach in college basketball.
We wrap up the show with our takeaways from the contract details for Florida football’s assistants, including the three new coaches. Seven assistant coaches for the Gators have higher salaries in 2025, with three receiving a $200K raise.
