Here is the scoop on Floridas new OC that gator said was a solid hire,lol :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
New Florida head coach Jim McElwain made a name for himself as a fantastic offensive coordinator during his time at Fresno State and Alabama, as well as his time as Colorado State's head coach.
He better keep his hands in the cookie jar, because the addition of new offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier to the coaching staff is less than inspiring.
Nussmeier's Michigan offense was a mess last year as the Wolverines fought through injuries and ineptitude to finish last in the Big Ten in total offense (333.0 YPG) and 10th in yards per play (5.32). What's more, there's a reason Alabama head coach Nick Saban wanted more creativity when he hired Lane Kiffin to fill the role formerly occupied by Nussmeier at Alabama following the 2013 season.
Nussmeier has experience in the SEC and won a national title with Alabama in 2012, but that doesn't do an awful lot to suggest that he's going to kick-start a Florida offense that's been plagued by a remarkable lack of creativity over the last four years.
