Jim Mcelwain

Former Bama OC
Turned CSU into a winning program

Develops his players

Might be a good hire

This looks like a btter hire than Nebraska's. He's younger and knows how to build a program.

- Learned under one of the best
- Turned a smaller program around(McElwain, 52, was in his third season at Colorado State. The Rams (10-2) have won 16 of their last 20 games dating to last season. That's after losing 27 of 36 games in the three seasons prior to McElwain's arrival in 2012.)


Now gets shot at bigger program

Sounds like a very good hire to me, nicely done by Florida.

Yup, he's a good hire in my book. He already understands SEC football for starters, and he obviously knows how to pull up a down program. If he can do that well at Colorado, imagine what he can do at Floduh in the midst of so many good recruiting areas.

I hate Floduh, but just like with scUM, it ain't as fun hating on a horrible team.

$7.5 million dollar buy out...FROM CSU!

Wowzers.
