Florida Gators Men's Basketball
2025 National Champion · SEC Coach of the Year · The standard in college basketball.
In just four seasons, Todd Golden has transformed Florida basketball into the premier program in the country.
Led Florida to a 36-4 record and a comeback victory over Houston, 65-63, to win the program's third national championship and first since 2007. Became the youngest coach to win a title since Jim Valvano in 1983.
Florida committed to Golden with a six-year, $40.5 million extension, making him one of the five highest-paid coaches in college basketball.
Captured the SEC regular-season title for the first time since 2014, finishing 16-2 in conference play and reclaiming Florida's place atop the toughest league in college basketball.
Named SEC Coach of the Year after leading the Gators to a 25-6 record (16-2 in SEC play) and the program's first regular-season conference title since 2014.
Reached 100 wins faster than any coach in Florida history — in just 139 games, surpassing Hall of Famer Billy Donovan's mark of 154 games.
After losing his entire starting backcourt to the NBA Draft and two assistant coaches to head coaching jobs, Golden rebuilt and delivered an 11-game winning streak to close the regular season as the #1 seed in the SEC Tournament.
Florida became the first team in the internet era to win a National Championship without a single top-100 recruit on the roster. Elite development over elite recruiting.
Golden's offensive and defensive systems are studied across college and professional basketball. His player development pipeline has become the gold standard.
Won the SEC Tournament Championship in 2025 and followed it with the 2026 SEC regular-season title — sustained dominance in the toughest conference in America.

My name is Matt Ragland, and I own the domain coachtoddgolden.com.
I built this site because Todd Golden is building something extraordinary at Florida, and I want to help.
First and foremost, I'm a Florida Gator, class of 2006. I've loved this school my whole life and want to see UF and our student athletes succeed.
More importantly for this conversation, I'm a content creator and marketing strategist who has worked with best-selling authors, successful entrepreneurs, and startups valued at over $100 million.
This domain — coachtoddgolden.com — transferred to Coach Golden and the Florida basketball program, free and clear, along with content and marketing strategy for the program and its student athletes.
I'm asking for a 30-minute in-person meeting with Coach Golden to discuss how I could assist the UF basketball program—not just to help us win on the court, but to help our student athletes succeed off the court as well. Oh, and a tour of the facility and a signed basketball.
If you're Coach Golden, someone on his staff, or connected to Florida basketball — I'd love to have a conversation.
