Jim McElwain spent fewer than five months working in the same athletic department as Billy Donovan, but Florida's football coach was able to generate some strong feelings about Donovan's departure to the Oklahoma City Thunder last Thursday.
“(Donovan) was one of the first guys that when I got here I was really looking forward to working with him and learning from him,” said McElwain, speaking to the media on Monday evening before a Gator Gathering at Ewers Century Center.
