Florida football coach Jim McElwain regrets outburst

Two days after berating running back Kelvin Taylor on the sideline, Florida coach Jim McElwain expressed regrets about his behavior. “I’m not proud about it and neither is my mother,” the former Eastern Washington player and assistant coach said. McElwain stopped short of apologizing for his profanity-laced tirade, during which he yelled at Taylor “look at me! Don’t look down! (Expletive) be a man!” McElwain said he hopes to learn from the situation. “I don’t feel good about it,” McElwain said at his weekly news conference. “As you know, this is a very public job. … I understand that I have a long ways to go and I make mistakes. … Am I proud of it? Absolutely not. Do I feel bad about it? Yes. At the same time, I’ve got to understand my mistakes as well and learn from it and go forward.” – AP
