So he won't give additional details to the university either? More convinced now this is just #fakenews. Pathetic. If this really happened and he won't provide details to the university then he's putting his players safety at risk. But of course it ain't about that, he was just looking for sympathy.

Here is a statement from UF about Jim McElwain’s statement that he, his teammates and their families have received death threats. #Gators

Looking bad for Mac there imo
You've got to be f'in kidding me. What a pussy. You don't want the mean tweets, rip up your contract and don't take the $27m you're owed. Go back to some middling crap program where nobody cares about your incompetence.
Nobody should be threatening violence obviously, but there's always a few wingnuts on Twitter. If it's a serious threat, then it should go to police and whatever nut is making it should be prosecuted. But more likely this is just the same sadsack, poor-me crap. I've had it with this yokel. Guarantee this ends up on ESPN. Gator fans end up looking like nutjobs, because Mac's feelings got hurt by people pointing out his obvious incompetence.
The admin should force him to provide evidence of these threats and fire his ass if they don't find any legitimate claims. Otherwise he just brought a bunch of negative attention on the school and its fans which could end up being very harmful.
He could always go back to being a concession stand vendor
plenty of neat folk in that business
im literally having to explain to Gator fans why a 1-7 Fedora is much better than Mac, and won 12 games at southern miss, and 11 at UNC two years ago and got screwed in ACC title game against Clemson..
Fedora has already been here and had more offense in one half than mac does in two games.. I just watched the 02 UT game and rex still had more passing yards at halftime in a monsoon than we get in games.. It's literally beyond laughable to even have to explain this to anyone

Did you send the threatsSo passive aggressive. "It's just tough when you have threats against the players and your family." Total crap!
Never thought I would agree with you,but I do...Some possibly minor hyperbole by a frustrated coach.
Followed by MAJOR HYPERBOLE by a few media-morons, and by a small circle of hater fan...
Adding up to, not much of anything of any real importance...![]()

Yes our coach slandering his employer and the fans associated with that employer to garner sympathy points is minor. And then refusing to cooperate with the school to ensure the safety of the players (if these threats are real) is also minor. No big deal. Everyone should be cool with a coach lying and lignting the university's image on fire. Apparently the university didn't think it was minor based on their reaction. Maybe they're 'haters' too though.

Every thing I have read says a UAA who already dislikes Mac is upset. Now if Alien Boy wants to say its not much of anything, let him. But its clear from their reaponse UAA is not pleased. Whether he is lying or not this was handled very poorly and if nothing else demonstrates this job is WAY too big for him. This has certainly moved Mac out of the ‘cannot be fired this year’ shelter. But if thats nothing, then I guess its nothing. But I can guarentee Mac isn’t sitting on his arrogant high-horse feeling untouchable right now because he just made these next few games far more important than they were 48 hours ago.
At about the 14 minute mark Mac brings up death threats and then he avoids the law enforcement aspect. I personally think he is using this mess hoping the fans will back off him some. Law enforcement can trace down people's IP addresses etc. if that really happened.
Mac seems to love bringing up the human element and the poor me card when things go wrong. He should have never even put that out there especially if nothing is even getting reported to law enforcement. It makes you wonder about the accuracy in the first place.
* Asked about death threats, McElwain called his comments "misguided remarks."
* On the death threats: "I feel bad sometimes for being open and being honest. At the same time, I've seen this movie and I understand it."
* McElwain said he would share details if the situation becomes "unmanageable."
What in the hell is this yokel talking about? What movie?
Oh look, the elderly homosexual with his teenage girl usage of emojis reappeared unable to put together a coherent thought as per usual. Btw any 'adult' who describes anyone who disagrees with him as haters is very likely a child incapable of reasoning beyond an elementary level. Oh wait...
(fixed that for ya)and excuse
The media-MORONS everywhere is going on him hard right now, and calling for his end.. near

This sounds like some sort of passive-aggressive Richard Nixonesque code for "I regret what I said, but you horrible media people have it in for me, and you know it!"
I'm looking forward to his upcoming, inarticulate, rendition of "just think how much you're going to be missing.You won't have [McElwaine] to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference!"
He's unbearable. He can't even man up and say he overexaggerated, nah the problem is he's just too honest and these media people are being too harsh on poor Mac. "Poor me poor me!" He's a crybaby.
