Former Gators coach Jim McElwain sold his house at a heavy loss in March, but there's a good reason: He was helping a family with two disabled children, according to Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times.

McElwain was fired by the Gators in late October after the team went 3-4 to start their season. In March it was reported that the coach sold his home for $400,000 less than the he paid for it in 2015, prompting derision.

However, McElwain and his wife took the $1.
