ATLANTA — The time has come for Jim McElwain to think about the future of the Florida Gators.
For five games in 2015 it looked as if McElwain had his starting quarterback in Will Grier before a PED suspension ended that ride abruptly. Through three games in 2016 it looked like Luke Del Rio would be the answer. Del Rio never rebounded after a knee injury against North Texas. Purdue graduate transfer Austin Appleby will exhaust his eligibility after the Gators’ bowl game, so the time is now. Florida needs to pick a freshman quarterback and see what they have moving forward.
