Florida Football: Jim McElwain denies posing nude with shark

Florida football coach Jim McElwain is sick and tired of everyone accusing him of posing nude with a shark.

It’s not often you hear about head coaches having to deny any involvement in nude photos, but that’s the exact situation Florida football’s Jim McElwain finds himself in.

A week ago, a picture surfaced of a man on a boat, posing nude while laying on top of a shark that seems to be wounded. It seems as if the man caught the shark and wanted to show off his prize in the most inappropriate way possible.

What does this have to do with McElwain? Well, the man looks a heck of a lot like the Gators’ head coach. Just take a look below.

WARNING: This photo is NSFW and includes the nude backside of someone who apparently looks a lot like McElwain.

Clearly, this is causing a stir since animal rights activists wants to know who took the distasteful picture and who the man is. By now, McElwain is sick and tired of hearing about it and being (wrongfully?) accused.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Dan Gartland, and the video above, McElwain doesn’t find this accusation a laughing matter.

"“Well, first and foremost, I don’t know who it is, but it isn’t me,” McElwain said.“Clearly,” Orlando Sentinel reporter Edgar Thompson replied. “I mean, what’s your feeling in general, just that something like this could even get out there and become a story?”“I guess that’s for you guys to answer,” McElwain answered. “You know, in the world we live, what is a story? I just know this: It isn’t me.”"

Not a happy camper, that McElwain. Would you be, though?

Let’s hope this whole story can be resolved and we can move on with our offseason. This was a nice break from depth chart questions, though.
