Florida and head coach Jim McElwain have reportedly parted ways and apparently the players found out in the worst way possible, via Twitter. Quarterback Luke Del Rio was one of the first to post about it and he did not sound happy.

Finding out any major news regarding your own coach on Twitter is the worst and tackiest way to see anything. The leaked reports and rumors became too much though it would seem as the players couldn't be called in quick enough to be informed of the decision to let McElwain go.
