Jim McElwain’s year could not be going worse.
After back-to-back SEC East titles (followed by crushing defeats in the SEC Championship Game), the Florida Gators have started the 2017 season 3-4, and are largely underperforming based on their preseason hopes.
In his weekly press conference leading into Florida’s blowout loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, McElwain addressed the negativity the team is facing regarding the rough start to the season.
During his answer, he referenced “death threats to [your] families”, in response to the poor start. Despite further questions, McElwain refused to elaborate to reporters; however, he also refused to elaborate when university officials pressed him for details.
