What does Jim McElwain do for an encore in Year 2 at Florida?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- When Florida coach Jim McElwain took over the Gators last year, a downtrodden fan base would have been happy with just a few passing touchdowns.

Ten wins, an SEC East championship and a raise to $4.25 million later ...

"Other coaches have told me I really screwed up because now the fan base expects 11, 12, 13 ... 20 wins when we go to the playoffs," McElwain said with a laugh in a recent interview.

Oh, and by the way, Urban Meyer won a national championship in Year 2 at Florida.

No pressure.
