Florida HC Jim McElwain Not out of Line in Sideline Tirade

We are in a day and age where cameras are everywhere, and moments that used to be private get broadcast to the public instantaneously thanks to the miracle of modern technology.

First-year Florida head coach Jim McElwain found that out the hard way during Saturday night's 31-24 win over East Carolina at "The Swamp."

Following a seven-yard touchdown run by junior Kelvin Taylor in the fourth quarter that gave the Gators a 31-17 lead on the Pirates, Taylor was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for giving the "throat slash" gesture on a score that essentially put the game on ice.
