I’m honestly asking…what is the fan sentiment?

It was pretty well established on here that Fla fans were glad to see him go because he didn’t live up to Donovan , and us Dawg fans loved the hire because he’s a huge step up from the losers we’ve had

I can't speak for UF fans but I'm enjoying him coaching at UGA.

He wasn't fired. He left. I wanted him gone.

yes 100% he sucks

Golden is okay shows some promise but also has a lot of work to do, particularly he needs to step up the S&C and adapt a full court press defense but he’s showed some promise so far

Good guy but things got stale and UF needed to move on. Trolling aside going to a place like UGA is a good spot for him given the low expectations.

his post style seems trollish but he's pretty on-point discussing the state of florida athletic program. I feel like Florida athletics has taken a step back in multiple sports the past 5-6 years, so he has to be on to something

By any metric, Florida is doing better with Golden than UG is doing with White. So, yes.

It was a toxic situation - really was good for both sides to separate.

And the culture was broken - basically threw the roster away completely, including guys he recruited for transfers that did not live up to expectations.

Really?

Florida has gone from .617 to .571 winning % while Georgia has gone from .385 to .500

You're winning less than you were and they're winning more than they were, so there's that.

Big boost coming from years with Donovan players. He clearly has a ceiling and it's not great.

Not sold on Golden but this year shows a ton of promise an a focus on bigs that Mike White never had here and we'd routinely get pushed around the court.

I don't know if Golden is the guy but Mike White wasn't.

This.


After 7 years with Mike White, it was time. It was really time after 4-5 years, but we hold on to coaches longer than normal if they are nice guys and say the right things.

Golden is a question mark but Mike white is the basketball version of billy Napier or rather billy Napier is the football Mike white

He's winning at .695 this season so let's see where it goes

Some positive signs so far for the future.
