Florida coach Todd Golden reaps rewards of national title, including reloading his roster
It would be tough to top the month Florida coach Todd Golden has enjoyed since winning the national championship. Golden and the Gators visited the White House, a trip that included an invitation to the Oval Office. He landed one of the top guards in the transfer portal, Arkansas’ Boogie Fland. He threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game. He received the Winged Foot Award at the New York Athletic Club — along with a yearlong membership to the famed golf club. And he signed a six-year, $40.5 million contract extension. Golden says “there’s no guarantee that you’ll ever get this opportunity again.”
