Whitley: Gators needed to hear McElwain's rant

Jim McElwain got an earful from his mother over the earful he gave Kelvin Taylor. Here's hoping Marjorie McElwain didn't use the exact same language.

It'd be unsettling to hear a 94-year-old lady curse like Al Pacino in the final scene of "Scarface." A lot of people were put off when a 53-year-old coach did it in the closing scenes of Saturday night's Florida-East Carolina game.

McElwain said Monday that his mother isn't proud of his rant, and neither is he. The viral video has America wondering whether UF has hired an impassioned leader or a madman who's already cracking under the pressure.
