Florida coach Jim McElwain revealed Monday that his family and players have received death threats amid the program's 3-3 start.
"There's a lot of hate in this world, a lot of anger," McElwain told reporters during his weekly news conference in Gainesville. "And yet there's freedom to show it. The hard part is obviously when the threats against your own players, the death threats to your families, the ill will that's brought upon out there."
McElwain would not go into detail on the nature of the threats but said they are a "good testament to what's going on out there nationally.
