Swamp Things: A podcast about the Florida Gators

Florida’s national championship earned coach Todd Golden a new contract with a hefty raise to put him among the nation’s highest-paid men's basketball coaches at age 39. UF included plenty of perks and some incentives to enhance the 6-year, $40.5 million package, but did little to make the deal ironclad if the NBA came calling. Meanwhile, Billy Napier’s assistant coaches got richer this offseason, highlighting the cost of doing business in SEC football — even for an 8-win team. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar dig into the numbers and plenty else, including a recent Gators’ arrest and an early exit at the SEC softball tournament.

The NFL draft was a waiting game for the Gators, but seven Florida players eventually had their names called while several others heard from NFL teams once the three-day marathon concluded. DJ Lagway’s wait also is over as Florida’s star quarterback has resumed throwing after resting and rehabbing an ailing shoulder in recent months. Meanwhile, Todd Golden added another transfer, Orlando native AJ Brown, as he continues to put the pieces together to make another championship run.

1 Denzel Aberdeen’s exodus spotlights college basketball’s transfer portal pandemonium (Ep. 277) 54:50
Fresh off a national championship, Todd Golden turned his attention to restocking his roster and completing his coaching staff. Yet, Golden did not expect Denzel Aberdeen to become part of the equation. Instead, the Orlando native and member of Golden’s first UF team three seasons ago entered the transfer portal for a bigger payday and, presumably, a better opportunity at SEC rival Kentucky. Aberdeen’s about-face is a sign of the times. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar wonder what it says about the state of college sports, the sustainability of the current system and how Florida’s roster will ultimately shake out.

Todd Golden’s squad saved its best for last, staging yet another comeback - its fourth in six NCAA Tournament games - to capture the school’s third national title in men’s basketball. Along the way, Golden established himself as a rising star, while Walter Clayton became the darling of the Big Dance to win Most Outstanding Player honors and position himself as a potential first round NBA Draft pick. Three national titles and five Final Fours since 2000 also put the Gators in the conversation of the best basketball programs of the millennium.

Swamp Things: A podcast about the Florida Gators

Basketball coach Todd Golden’s Title IX investigation on heels of Billy Napier’s vote of confidence was the ultimate 1-2 punch for Florida fans. Two days after AD Scott Stricklin’s endorsement of his embattled football coach, Napier’s depleted Gators suffered the worst defeat during his tenure, by 32 points at Texas. The accusations against Golden generated headlines, outrage and concerns. But UF’s third-year coach was on the sideline Monday night against Grambling State and got a warm reception from the fan base and a strong performance from his team. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar discuss the craziest few days during their more than two decades covering Florida athletics.

It’s a matter of when not if UF decides to move on from their embattled and overmatched head coach.

Napier survived to coach another week, Saturday at Mississippi State. Ron Zook’s final game as head coach was in Starkville 20 years ago. Will history repeat itself?
