Following his introductory press conference, Jim McElwain said he learned from the way things ended at his last head coaching job at Florida.
On Oct. 23, 2017, McElwain alluded to receiving death threats when he was asked about the team’s recent struggles. The Florida Gators, who were 3-4 at the time, just came off a 42-7 loss to No. 3 Georgia two days prior.
When the new Central Michigan football head coach referenced death threats, the reporters asked McElwain to elaborate. He declined.
This is McElwain’s exact quote from the press conference: "There's a lot of hate in this world and a lot of anger," McElwain said.
