Florida under McElwain

If it is...it won't be this year. By the trend, Florida won't even reach the CG this year. How long it has taken coaches to reach the SEC CG their first time? Only Miles and Malzahn have reached the CG in their first season at a school. Nobody has ever made it to the CG their first year in the East.
