It's been a wild week for Florida football, especially head coach Jim McElwain. Things started this week with McElwain mentioning death threats pitted towards his family and players, but now it seems things could take yet another turn for the Gators head man.

According to Darren Heitner, a sports attorney and University of Florida alum, the Gators could be in the process of searching for their next head coach.

Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde disputed that final statement, saying Sexton and the Gators have not discussed a buyout.

Nearly two hours after the initial report of UF and Sexton discussing a buyout, Florida released a statement saying that is not accurate.

"No one representing the University of Florida or our athletic department has had any conversations with Coach McElwain or his representatives regarding a buyout of his contract," UF's statement read. "Our focus is on this great Florida-Georgia rivalry today in Jacksonville."

The Gators and McElwain are coming off back to back SEC East winning seasons since his arrival in Gainesville. However, in his third season the Gators have struggled heavily on the field especially offensively, and currently sit at a 3-3 record and are riding a two game losing streak.

The Gators kick off today against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs. The game will start at 3:30 P.M. et the game will broadcast on CBS.
