Michigan adds former Florida head coach Jim McElwain as assistant

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan has hired former Florida coach Jim McElwain to coach its wide receivers.

Jim Harbaugh announced the addition to his staff Tuesday.

At Florida, the 55-year-old McElwain became the first coach in SEC history to lead his team to the SEC championship game in each of his first two seasons in 2015 and 2016, but lost both times to Alabama.

Toward the end of the 2017 season following a 42-17 loss to Georgia, the Gators' third straight, McElwain was fired.
