Should the Buffaloes consider Jim McElwain as head coach?

The Colorado Buffaloes are in the midst of finding their next head football coach. We’re here to break down the top candidates and grade them based on how they would fit in at Colorado.

After coaching in the NFL and having high-profile assistant jobs, including at Alabama as OC, Jim McElwain’s first coaching experience was at Colorado State. There he had great success in three seasons and earned one of the most coveted positions in college football at Florida. He then piloted the Gators to a fiery crash in the Everglades, never to be seen again.
