I really thought McElwain had a chance to be a good one after his first season.
Now I just wonder if Florida will ever field a good offense post Tebow

McElwain would have at least 2 more seasons at LSU. Impressive move by Florida admin.

What a load of crap.
So many people have done much, much worse than get caught telling a foolish lie and survive.
Whatever.

Holy shite - if this is true, then no wonder reports of Mac butting heads w/ AD office were swirling.

Source told me Spurrier reached out twice to McElwain this fall to offer help, was told no thanks. That alone is fireable offense. #Gators

Help with what? How to quit when the going got tough?
Nice to see how quickly Spurrier washed his hands of all things Gamecock. POS.

Chief, this was just a job to him. Florida is home.
I don't think there's a single Gamecock fan who begrudges Spurrier over this. Spurrier IS UF football.

Florida go ahead and offer Mullen and be done with it.

ESPN report from 10 min ago says McElwain has not been fired but they are trying to get him to take a lower buyout.

Sounds like Joe Alleva is consulting.

Yeah, you're right. I was surprised at how quickly he abandoned them. A ton of his kids are still there.

McElwain, UAA Mutually Agree to Part Ways | floridagators.com

UAA Communications
Oct. 29, 2017
Jim McElwain and the University Athletic Association have mutually agreed to part ways, Athletic Director Scott Stricklin announced Sunday.
Randy Shannon will serve as interim coach throughout the remainder of the season.
"We want to thank Coach McElwain for his efforts in leading the Gator football program," said Stricklin. "We are confident Coach Shannon will provide the proper guidance to the players and rest of staff during this time and we will begin a national search for the next head coach."
The two parties are currently negotiating terms of separation.
Jim McElwain finished 22-12 during his two-plus seasons as head coach and was hired as the 25th head coach in UF history on Dec. 4, 2014.
McElwain won 22 games and two Southeastern Conference Eastern Division titles (2015, 2016) during his tenure at the University of Florida. Florida's highest AP Poll ranking under McElwain was No. 8, a mark the Gators reached after their win over Missouri in 2015.
Florida is 3-4 in 2017.
Randy Shannon has been named the interim head coach of the Florida Football program following a three-year stint on McElwain's staff as an Associate Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator, and Linebackers Coach.
Shannon has over 25 years of coaching experience, serving as the head coach for the University of Miami from 2007-10 (28-22).. During his career as a player and coach, Shannon has been a part of three national championship teams.
In his time at Florida, Shannon's defenses have consistently ranked in the top-10 nationally. During his coaching career, he has tutored 59 players who have been selected in the NFL draft.

So being fired wasn't extreme enough to convince Mac to provide evidence of death threats? Didn't he say he would when it became too much to handle?
