McElwain: 'I didn't come to have a participation ribbon, you know'

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators head coach Jim McElwain was interviewed by Chris Fischer of WTSP in the Tampa Bay market on Thursday.
McElwain discussed many of the same issues he already has in his two-plus months on the job, including the goal to modernize the program's infrastructure.
My favorite quote comes when McElwain is asked what has him convinced that the 2015 Gators can compete for the SEC East title.
"I didn't come to have a participation ribbon, you know. I think everything you go out – no matter what you do in life – you go out to be the best and to win,'' he replied. "I try to approach every day just like that. You got to win the now, and the only way you win a championship is by getting better today.”
