[Lawrence Wright]

Correction, Bill Golden.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Could be Billy Bob Golden.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

My sources tell me his name is actually Todd Golden.

I’m still calling him Billy Bob Golden.

Think your sources are right

Probably likes golden showers

Hmm, how should the Gators feel about this hire? I believe most will likely be disappointed. Heck, I even feel as if they could of and should of done better.

Congrats on your young 36 year old coach that everyone will have to look up on Google though. I see he has 3 years head coaching experience at San Francisco. Took the Don's to the tournament this year, so there's that.

I like your Anthony Grant choice better

Interesting. San Francisco was really good this year (and screwed by the NCAA committee ... should've been a 6 or 7 seed and they did the "let's match up two strong mid-majors so they can't upset blue-bloods scam). That said, he really only has a 1-year track record at this point.

 

[VOLtaism]

I imagine he has a lot of contacts in the Florida high school system?

I wouldn’t say they got screwed, they played a solid G5 OOC schedule (UAB and Davidson) but only played one P5 school all year and eeked out a 1pt win vs ASU. Best win on the year was Davidson or UAB and went 0-5 vs the WCC leaders St Mary’s and Gonzaga.

Al Golden for real.

This is a cautionary tale for those who want UT to move on from Barnes. UF is a better job than UT and this is the best they could do.

Quality post.

Todd Golden was just mentioned as a young coach that could become the next Coach K. They were not predicting it, but mentioned his name along with one other that could be that next generation coach.

Let’s wait until the dude finishes top 3 in his conference before anointing him the next legendary coach. He is 1 game over .500 in three seasons in the WCC.

There will never be another Coach K.

From a story I read they said this coach is heavy into analytics.....UF could have done a lot better imo

How could anyone possibly come up with a prediction like that? That’s pretty much on par with me becoming the next Tiger Woods.
