Golden State Warriors Eye Florida's Todd Golden

0:00On April 22nd, Florida Gators head coach Todd Golden is making waves as the top pick for the Golden State Warriors if they part ways with Steve Kerr, whose contract just ran out. Golden's building a strong squad for the 2026-27 season, keeping most of his roster intact, but NBA scouts are eyeing his skills. Earlier rumors tied him to big college gigs like North Carolina, Arizona and Kansas, but Golden and his athletic director shut those down quick. He called Florida a prime spot to coach and recruit, saying he's locked in for the long haul. The A.D.'s all in too, pushing for a third straight contract extension and wishing other programs luck in their searches. He knows Golden wants to stay put at the University of Florida. Golden just locked down his whole coaching staff, including key assistant, Carl and Hartman, who drew-head job buzz. On the roster front, he's got stars like Thomas Hall and Alex Condon returning, plus transfer of Denzel Aberdeen pending a waiver for extra eligibility.

1:01Warriors like Golden from his University of San Francisco days and ties to their owners, but Kerr's still talking extension. For now, Golden's focused on Gator's hoops, though an NBA leap feels inevitable down the road.
