UF announced it is not negotiating a buyout with representatives for coach Jim McElwain, knocking down a report Saturday about the embattled coach.
Agent Darren Heitner posted on Twitter Saturday, "Source: Agent Jimmy Sexton & UF have been trying to work out Coach Mac buyout, but are 'miles apart.' Still working hard on it."
The post by Heitner, an attorney and UF fan, further ignited speculation McElwain wouldn't coach through the end of the season after a bizarre week that included the coach refusing to share details of death threats he says he received when asked for more information by his employers.
