Jim McElwain goes off on Florida Gators: 'That was embarrassing'
Florida held on for a 31-24 win over East Carolina, but the lingering part of Saturday's game might be first-year coach Jim McElwain's, uh, unhappy news conference afterward. Here are some notable excerpts:
(Opening statement)
That was embarrassing. Our lack of playing with discipline and understanding how you play the game crept up. It was embarrassing. Penalties inside the red area. We’ve got a long ways to go. It starts with understanding selfish acts hurt the team, and it will be dealt with. It’s not how it’s going to be around here anymore.
Over the last 10 years, the most penalized team in the league- in the country. It’s not gonna happen. We’ve got to learn.
