Florida Gators' Jim McElwain regrets profanity-filled tirade on Kelvin Taylor

Jim McElwain could have eased up on Kelvin Taylor, but he was right to be angry.

As the Kentucky Wildcats are coming off a big week 2 win over south Carolina, their next opponent is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Florida Gators head coach Jim McElwain says he regrets tearing into junior running back Kelvin Taylor on the sideline after Taylor drew a penalty for a "throat slash" touchdown celebration gesture late in Florida’s 31-24 win over East Carolina on Saturday.

Here's a look at the full video, but be warned, some of the language is not safe for work or the kids:

Since the incident took place, McElwain has said he's sorry for his action and has even heard from his 94-year-old mother how wrong he was:

"I'm not proud about it, and neither is my mother," McElwain said Monday at his weekly presser.
