Multiple sources have told The Michigan Insider that former Florida head Coach Jim McElwain is expected to join Michigan’s staff as its 10th assistant. He is slated to replace former receiver coach Dan Enos, who left Ann Arbor for Alabama after just 17 days on the job. The Michigan Insider hasn’t received definitive word yet on whether McElwain will also have coordinator duties, but such a designation would not be surprising considering Michigan had three coaches with a coordinator title on staff last year (Tim Drevno, Pep Hamilton, and Greg Frey) and employs a collaborative play-calling process.

McElwain is coming off a 22-12 record during his nearly three years at the helm of Florida’s program. He was named SEC coach of the year in 2015 after leading the Gators to a SEC East title and a 10-4 record in his first season in Gainesville. He followed that up with another SEC East title and 9-4 record before a subpar showing off the field and strained relations with Florida’s administration off it led to a mutual parting of the ways seven games into the 2017 campaign.

Prior to accepting the Florida job McElwain had noteworthy stops as the head coach at Colorado State from 2012-2014 (compiling a 22-16 record), and as the offensive coordinator at Alabama from 2008-2011 (during which the Tide won two BCS National Championships).

During his career as a position coach McElwain specialized in coaching quarterbacks and receivers, while also dabbling in special teams. He also has prior experience coaching in the Big Ten, serving as Michigan State’s assistant head coach, receivers coach, and special teams coach from 2002-2005.
