Florida reached an agreement to hire Jim McElwain as its new head football coach on Thursday morning. McElwain had spent the last three years as the head coach at Colorado State and led the Rams to a 10-2 record this season.

On Thursday afternoon, Colorado State quarterback Garrett Grayson took to Twitter to thank his former coach and also to ensure the Florida faithful that McElwain is the man for the job.

At the end of the day we all need to say thank u. Coach Mac had a dream n we live in a country where dreams become a reality if u work hard. — Garrett Grayson (@gbg_18) December 4, 2014





He helped bring back @CSUFootball to the level it used to be and now it's OUR job as a community and a university to keep it there! — Garrett Grayson (@gbg_18) December 4, 2014





So stop with all these hate tweets and just take a second to say thank you for the time that we did have him. We still have a game to play! — Garrett Grayson (@gbg_18) December 4, 2014



Grayson added that he won't be surprised if the Gators win a National Championship in the next few years.

And for the @GatorZoneNews y'all just got one HELL of a coach. I won't be surprised if y'all are national champs in 2-3 years! Good luck!! — Garrett Grayson (@gbg_18) December 4, 2014
