On Sunday night, Wikipedia was updated to include Florida coach Jim McElwain's departure from his position and something a little more fictitious.

McElwain's page was altered to say he died on Saturday, Oct. 28 in Jacksonville after Georgia pummeled Florida, 42-7.

It was reported that McElwain and the university mutually agreed to part ways after less than three seasons as coach.

Wikipedia was altered to show former Florida coach Jim McElwain died in Jacksonville after Saturday's Georgia-Florida game.
