Florida Gators 2015 Pump Up Video - you tube. The Gators have had two rough years, but now change is imminent in Gainesville. Jim McElwain has been hired and a new coaching staff has been instilled to get Florida back to the top. It will be sooner rather than later that the Gators return to their respected national prowess.
