A friend just told me he is gone and the team has been notified.

Also saw where players learned from twitter first.

They are beyond stupid if they fire him.

Idiots.  I hope they end up like UT for the next decade.  In fact, Butch Jones will be available soon.

I found this on FB that he is already gone.

^^This. He suspended 10 players from the team for the right reasons,  but the stupid powers that be at UF expect the team to win like nothing happened. The "death threats" junk was just to find a way to get rid of him without a buyout. They get what they deserve. I think UF and UT will be sub-par programs for years to come.

I guess winning the West and playing in the SEC Championship Game in his first two years was not enough.

I think they are being fools.

McElwain, who was hired in December 2014, has a 22-12 record and won the SEC Eastern Division in back-to-back seasons, becoming the first SEC coach to make it to the SEC championship game in each of his first two seasons.

His 19 wins entering the 2017 season were the second most by any SEC coach in 2015 and '16. Those 19 wins tied Steve Spurrier for the second-most victories by a Florida coach in his first two seasons.

Exactly, even though I know you meant the East.

They are trying to screw him out of his buyout. He needs a good attorney. $12M is worth fighting for.

Yes, meant East.

Link is a story about Butch Jones' future.  Interesting quote in this link is:

Florida reportedly parted ways with its head coach, Jim McElwain, on Sunday afternoon. It is unclear whether that move by the Vols’ key SEC East rival played a part in the UT administration’s decision to discuss Jones’ future.

Maybe TN thinks they can snatch up CJM?   (Perhaps not as foolish as FL?)
Either that, or they know the coaching search competition is heating up....

[SUPERCOACH]

Of course there were death threats.  Do they seriously expect us to believe that none of the millions of Gator fans made death threats?  My guess is that every coach on the hot seat gets death threats from the Updykes among their fan base.  That is nothing new, or surprising.  But what UF is doing to weasel it's way out of the buyout is shameful and embarrassing.

I'm concerned that could actually happen.  That would not be good.

However, I would enjoy him beating whatever string of loser coaches end up at UF for the next decade though.
