Like I said, we had the king of the rant and ravers on our sideline the
last 4 years and you saw where that got us. Now maybe some people
respond better than others to being screamed at, we'll see.
I'm not going to argue with other Gator fans about what is proper
behavior for the head coach so carry on.

If my players blatantly disobeyed or did something I specifically said
not to do, they could probably expect the same... This is not care
bear football. These are athletes in which the university has greatly
invested in or is willing to do so. If they can't hack it, or the
parents can't, maybe they should go.
I coach football. I expect far more from my players in the locker
room than any joe shmoe fan would ever expect. They are students
first, athletes second, and their responsibility is to their teammates
is far before themselves. The idea that the coach should not be mad
or upset or express it is just plain foreign to me. You wouldn't let
your own kids get away with irresponsibility and disobediance, would
you? How would you have him express it?
I found it VERY telling that he did NOT chew him out by himself and
isolated. He was surrounded by a whole bunch of players. So was that
a teaching moment or a made for TV moment? He had a circle of
players-- many I did not even recognize, surrounding Taylor. I
imagine it was both moments.
McElwain is building something here. He is changing a culture of a
lack of accountability. He held a star to a higher standard in front
of a group of players. While I normally subscribe to the "praise in
public, admonish in private", that was a very public and teachable
moment-- for Taylor and the whole team and nation. That is NOT what
the Gators represent. He is trying to show that-- to parents, to
recruits, to fans....
To not come down hard on Taylor condones it... I have no problem with
McElwain's handling of the situation. If it was not "made of TV",
then why was Taylor in the next series? There is more to this than
meets the eye...
Look big picture.

Unfortunately all the players except the true freshmen have witnessed
ranting and raving first hand the past few years. I was kind of
disappointed in coach's behavior on the sidelines. Hopefully imo he
can figure out a way going forward to correct the problem.

The way he chewed out Kelvin Taylor after the "slashing" personal
foul after the TD shows how angry he was at the entire team play.
They better get it together going into the meat of the season,
starting next week!!!

Any of you watch Mac’s post game talk. He is seething and very, very
disturbed to the point of being near speechless. The offending
players are going to have to make a decision NOW or they’re done,
gone, maybe even off the team. This looks really ugly. Hopefully he
will have the strength to hold back physically. Looks like a bit more
of a tweak and he could snap.
