Why Florida Head Coach Jim McElwain Is Every Quarterback's Best Friend

Spend five minutes with Florida head coach Jim McElwain, and you'll see why he's so likable.

Whether it's asking reporters how their golf games are progressing or discussing his latest concoction on the Big Green Egg (it was a pizza), the second-year head coach of the Gators has an ability to relate to other people that's unmatched in college football.

It's a big reason why he has been successful as a coordinator and a head coach.

"I've been pretty fortunate to have some good guys, and guys who understand the importance of the position and what it takes to be successful at it," McElwain said earlier this month.
