So apparently it is the owner of Jimmy Johns...? Anybody know if that is true?

Deadspin reached out to the University of Florida to see if McElwain had any comment on it. A UF spokesman confirmed they already confronted McElwain.

“He told us it’s not him,” the spokesperson said, without elaborating further on why they suspected it was him in the picture in the first place.

"Great to be back with the family for Sunday dinner tonight after a great fishing trip on the Phase 5 with my buddy Jimmy John Liautaud! Let’s get to work. #GoGators pic.twitter.com/pMmgPugCpU

— Jim McElwain (@CoachMcElwain) May 7, 2017"

Odd that Mac was on a fishing trip on a boat called 'The Phase 5' at the exact time the picture was taken. I can't tell if that's the Phase 5 in the picture, but it looks like it. Also, note how the UF SID had already confronted him about it. That and the fact that the guy in the picture parts his hair on the same side still leaves me suspicious.

There's literally an article quoting Mac saying it's not him in the picture!

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/f...t-nude-man-top-shark-photo-circling-internet/

Jim McElwain confirms he's not the nude man on top of shark in photo circling the Internet

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

A photo of a naked man on top of a shark went viral over the weekend, and everyone immediately thought it was Florida coach Jim McElwain on Twitter.

That’s how social media works, right? In fact, folks are still tweeting that it has to be McElwain.
Why get so defensive if it's not him? I would lose my sh!t if I was in that scenario :lmao2:

That man is actually seeing color for the first time in his life. Saw the real video a few weeks ago.

It's a great video. Very touching.

The problem is our Belk loving coach is goofy. Does anyone see even a tad bit of Spurrier or Meyer in him? Not an ounce. Those guys were assassins. Has Mac even said a word about the SOW? UGA? UT? I expected him to come out firing about Lawing...instead...nothing...nada. He goes out with a whimper. He's an awful fit here. Period.

On Tuesday before a speaking engagement in town, McElwain stuck to that statement, vehemently denying it was him.

"Well, first and foremost I don’t know who it is, but it isn’t me," he said, turning a slight shade of red and becoming visibly agitated as his wife, Karen, looked on from a few feet away.

A reporter followed up, asking McElwain's thoughts on how something like that could even become a story and so quickly spread in today's social media environment.

McElwain remained seemingly irritated, responding curtly.

"I guess that’s for you guys to answer," he said. "In the world we live, what is a story? I just know this, it isn’t me."

Isn't that TJ guy a FSU troll on twitter?

They walk all over us on and off the field. I hope our next coach understands the rivalry better than the current one.

Are you really trying to blame our coach for some guy on twitter? Is it somehow McElwain's fault that allegedly the owner of Jimmy John's posed naked on top of a shark in a picture that strongly resembles McElwain?

Are you trying to give a FSU twitter troll credit for taking a truly heart warming moment and attaching it to this?

I really don't get your point other than to find a way to point out that FSU has beaten us in football.

As far as walking all over us off the field... maybe in football trash talk, but I would guess that UF alumni are more successful than FSU alumni in total and we walk all over them in the corporate and business world that really matters.

Question for you... did you or do you attend UF?
