Why I can’t believe Michigan is hiring Jim McElwain
A few of us here at
MaizeNBrew.com have emotional connections to other schools. Some grew up fans, others became one after moving, and a few of us have degrees from schools that aren’t Michigan. I belong to those first and final groups. Growing up in Florida, my family was filled with Gators. I now live in Gainesville, attending graduate school after completing my amazing time in Ann Arbor. Don’t get me wrong, my allegiances lie with the Wolverines, but I’m about as up to date on the Florida program.
On December 2nd, 2014, Brady Hoke and his staff were fired. Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier was amongst the excommunicated. Less than a month later, the dullest offensive mind in college football joined Jim McElwain’s staff at the University of Florida. My one-year Nussmeier nightmare turned into four as Nuss produced the following statistical outputs in Maize, Blue, and Orange
2014: 115th in yards, 111th in points
2015: 112th in yards, 99th in points
2016: 116th in yards, 107th in points
2017: 110th in yards, 109th in points.
I italicized Nussmeier’s year at Michigan and bolded the years at Florida since that’s where this piece needs to get its focus. Why? Because that’s when Nussmeier was working hand-in-hand with Michigan’s new “Wide Receiver Coach That’s Actually Calling Plays,” Jim McElwain.
