Jim McElwain's Introductory Press Conference

[CapitalGator02]

This is the kind of nice guy that will give you a real country boy ass whipping if you piss him off

He definitely has an edge. Chill until someone sucks it up on the field

 

[G8RNGA]

I love how he said he's wanted to be a Gator for many years. Sounded very genuine to me!

 

[dphgator96]

Seems like someone recruits would want to play for.

 

[ufgator812]

He just said throw it 80 times a game...

 

[DeltaGlamma]

This is gonna be fun again!!!!

 

[jereed16]

Like that he talks all three phases.

 

[divits]

He's a little flaky and the anti-humorless/a$$hole coach. I like him already. What a breath of fresh air.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Dude is retarded and I like it

 

[Ray Finkle]

He just said throw it 80 times a game...

And used 40 as his low number

 

[ufgator812]

And used 40 as his low number

Right. "Whatever it takes to win".

 

[Swamp Donkey]

[Gator87]

Like his comment about the QB. Positively impact the rest of the team when you are on the field. In other words don't Driskel when you go out there.

If I am at the Humane Society in Gainesville, I'm making a call to the UFAA and begging Big Mac to do some promotion for pet adoption.

 

[lrtx1]

I'm all in. Going to be a lot of fun around here. Enjoyed the press conference. And I think I got a stiffy when he said throw it 80 times.

 

[crosscreekcooter]

this made me spit pizza

 

[ufgator812]

Right. UF threw it 97 times TOTAL over the last 5 games of the season (month of November). 19 per game.

 

[G8RNGA]

You gotta believe some recruits were watching, including those who looked the other way before, and have to like what they just saw. He's basically saying, if you want to win a championship and play at the highest level, come here. If you choose to go elsewhere, you're just Gator bait!

 

[heversle]

I gotta say I like this guy already. I like his demeanor and there seems to be a naturally intuitive quality with him that makes me feel like he just "gets it". I think our guys will respond well to his personality and play hard for him. I'm excited to see what his staff will ultimately look like.

 

[Chomper]

I kept waiting for him to explain what a mid-line is. But otherwise, I like him..... a lot! Gooooooo Gators!!
