Jim McElwain becomes winningest first-year coach in Florida history

Add another impressive feat for Jim McElwain in his first year with the Florida Gators.

After the Gators’ win over the Florida Atlantic Owls, McElwain has now won the most games (10) in his first season with the Gators than any other coach in program history. Previously, there was a four-way tie for first place with Urban Meyer (2005), Steve Spurrier(1990), Galen Hall (1985) and Ray Graves (1960) all winning nine games in their first season in Gainesville.

Florida’s win over Florida Atlantic wasn’t pretty, but as McElwain says, the Gators just keep finding ways to win. Obviously, the performance wasn’t great on Saturday, but the win doesn’t show up any differently than the team’s other nine wins this season.

The Gators will try for 11 wins when they host the Florida State Seminoles on Nov. 28.

Damn, this man is funny

Mac: "You know when you go to the grocery store and you see those dead fish on ice? That's what they look like. How excited are you hanging out with those dead fish?"

Damn, this man is funny

You know one reason I love this guy is because he is like...Spurrier and Mike Leach put together.

Can't believe it.

His mouth ain't perty enuff for SPN.

SPN prefers Jimbo and Ned Beatty.

 

[SoProudNole]

I really wish you all would lighten up a bit. He seems like a really good coach and a genuinely likeable guy.

[SoProudNole]

No doubt. I've certainly been called worse.

[SoProudNole]

Aww, MJ looks cute white knighting for the Swamp Donkey.

 

[MJWilliamson]

No doubt. I've certainly been called worse.

And no doubt behaved worse, This is probably an example of your best behavior.

Now why don't you run along and stop dropping steaming turds in our threads?

Okay but for real. Mac does have some yellow teeth.

It bothers me at least because I know it's just fodder for the haters.

 

[passoverGator]

Sometimes they look bad and sometimes they don't. Maybe it's the contrast on my t.v.

I can't believe he can't spring for some teeth whitener.

this coming from a guy who's head coach can't grow sideburns and still picks his nose.

Yea no kidding. But they can't criticize our coach for yellow teeth. Only we can do that.

And that patch on the top of his noggin.....CUT IT OFF JIMBO, CUT IT OFF!!!!! This reminds me of an episode on Seinfeld somewhere....

 

[SoProudNole]

Yeah, the Jimbo Patch is hilarious....

 

[gatorshime]

Here we go a nolie rags on our head coach and we don't ban him? Man this site has changed since I was a moderator.

 

[SoProudNole]

Why u so serious? I like the guy.

 

[GatorNation79]

I swear watching that presser from yesterday was one of the funniest ever...the whole 'dead fish' talk was the best. Of course our play on offense was pathetic but Coach Mac's comments were spot on and hilarious...that was freaking great!

 

[GatorNation79]

Sometimes they look bad and sometimes they don't. Maybe it's the contrast on my t.v.

No SoProud is right...but he's a regular and it wasn't a shot at Mac...I've been thinking the same thing all season...you're right though...sometimes it's not as bad as others. Either way I love the guy...he's done such a great job this season and his pressers are entertaining.

 

[passoverGator]

but he's a regular and it wasn't a shot at Mac.

LOL, yes. It was.
And you should have seen the shot he took at a poster about a week or 2 ago. Whew! Still not sure how he wasn't banned for that one. Post was dealt with by another mod.

 

[SoProudNole]

Yeah, sorry about that pass. That topic hits close to home for me. That's tough for everyone involved and Jimbo appears to be handling it OK.


But, that patch. SMH.....

Yeah, but the other three didn't have that "gimme game" that Mac had yesterday to get to 10.
