After ‘death threats’ debacle, it’s time for Jim McElwain to go

Florida should fire Jim McElwain.

There were already those in the Gators’ fan base who were ready to be rid of McElwain because his offense has been awful for three seasons.

I pointed to the horrendous luck at quarterback, from Will Grier’s suspension in 2015 to injuries to Luke Del Rio the past two years. McElwain’s efforts this year were further stunted by nine players getting suspended for alleged credit-card fraud in the summer. None have returned to the team, creating staggering attrition as injuries piled up.

I was still with McElwain — until now.
