McElwain out

[o_dawgnabit]

All of twitter Florida just fired him. Can’t believe he was fired before Butch

 

[Bulldogg31]

Oh crap here it comes.

 

[MaroonOldCrow]

Linkage.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

If they really fired him with cause (rather, they claim there is cause), they are going to have a big lawsuit heading their way

 

[Philly Dawg]

It would have merit because you’d have a hard time convincing anyone that the performance of the team had nothing to do with it.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

If Nick Saban said something like that, he'd still have his job. If Kirby Smart said something like that, he'd still have his job. I don't think the coaching community at large is buying that McElwain committed a sin so great it demanded his termination. Other than losing three games in a row badly and not having an offense for the last 2.5 seasons.

This firing makes no sense. Two appearances in the

championship game followed by one bad year. Basically, due to the fact you have a bunch of guys suspended.

I still think the shark photo is real...this firing lends some credence to that theory.

ESPN just said talks were still in progress.

It supposedly has nothing to do with the team. It has to do with him telling local medi that he and his family have received death threats from florida fans and him not going to the AD and proper authorities with it. Instead he said something about it in a press conference and this putbthe AD in a very bad light. When Strick and Foley meet with him the AD came to the conclusion that it was a non-event. So in short he lied.

If he had beaten UGA, true or not, this wouldn't be an issue.

 

[8dog]

No thats their reason to not pay a buyout. He is getting booted bc they are a disaster

 

[MaroonNation]

According to his overall record he has not. He is having a bad year THIS year

 

[Philly Dawg]

Their offense hasn’t been ranked over 108 in total offense since he’s been there. That’s just awful and frankly not good enough at a program like UF.

That would be an awesome lawsuit. Mac would be arguing he was such a ****** coach that they clearly fired him for performance reasons. Loafers and company would be arguing he was a perfectly good coach, but they had to fire him because of the death threat fiasco.

Hilarity ensues.

 

[MaroonNation]

He was 10-3 in 2015, 1st in East
He was 9-4 in 2016, 1st in East

Last 2 years he has played for the SEC Championship. While I agree this year is bad they also had 16 players from their team suspended at the beginning of the season. All thugs he probably didn’t even recruit. Scott Strickland is stupid if he is pushed by alumni into firing Shark 17’er because of this year’s results.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I do too. I don’t care what people say. That’s him

 

[kired]

Do Auburn fans think Chizik was a good coach? He coached 4 seasons and won a national championship with a 14-0 record. But got fired two years later. Sometimes winning doesn't mean you're a great coach.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Mac is Rex Ryan without the humor.

 

[olblue.sixpack]

Correct. If they are sitting at 6-1, there is an apology and let’s talk about Missouri.

Its kind of like when the rumor surfaced that Mike Dubose was having an affair with his secretary. Ten wins and a settlement swept that deal under the rug until he went 3-8 the next year.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Freeze to Florida AGAIN!

 

[Dogariffic]

If they are sitting 6-1 and or beat Georgia there are no death threats to talk about real or imagined.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Sure, fire the guy trying to clean up your program; keep the stupid 17ers who committed credit card fraud.
