Coach Mac is a good QB coach though, imo. I think he'll develop a QB at Florida that can win football games, and I can see Kelvin Taylor having an 09 Ingram style season.

He was #5 on my wish list with the top 2 not being very realistic. I am excited. UF gets an excellent offensive minded guy, great X's and O's, and solid recruiter.

I've seen the idea thrown around (credit to Mag) that he may target Coach Napier from us as the OC. Just food for thought.

Sticky requested. There is no way Florida makes the offer and McElwain accepts and then the deal does not get done because of the buyout.

Foley would look like a complete fool at this point.

I will ask again.....why is this not stickied?

McElwain is an awesome hire by Florida fans. Depending on the staff he assembles, they should be over the moon.

Any Alabama fans ripping McElwain are idiots, period.

Florida bout to start going in dry on that bushleague East.

I think it's a good hire. Don't really see the negative in him.

This is the one coach out there who WILL have Florida in the National Championship game within his first 3 seasons.

This hire scares the ever livin bejesus out of me.

Needs a QB, I don't think Harris is his type but great coach. He should do very well and I hope he does.

I've said it before, but I like Mac coaching Will Grier.

I only skimmed the first couple threads, but it sounded like some were saying Bama ran him off and nonsense like that.

shouldn't have any issues at all getting QB's to UF.

with Harris and Grier already in the stable, there's some nice young talent already in place.

Not the case at all. He went to CSU to try his hand at being a HC. It worked well for him now he is in a top 3 job in the country. I'm happy for the McElwains. They are good people.

Do not like. Napier is a lights out recruiter.
