GAINESVILLE, Fla. – First-year Florida head coach Jim McElwain and his staff get to start blowing their whistles and coach their new team starting March 16.
The Gators open their inaugural spring camp under McElwain that day, the first of 15 practices as Florida football transitions into a new era.
Spring practice concludes on April 11 with the Orange & Blue Debut presented by Sunniland. In addition to the spring game, there are other festivities planned on what is being billed as an Orange & Blue weekend. More details will be announced soon.
Florida's spring practices will not be open to the public, but McElwain is scheduled to be available to the media regularly throughout camp. He will speak to reporters after 12 of the 15 practices and all nine of his assistant coaches will be available to the media once during camp.
Players will also be available to speak to the media regularly during camp.
McElwain will hold a press conference to preview the start of spring practice on March 10 at approximately 12 p.m.
McElwain was hired in December to replace Will Muschamp after three seasons as head coach at Colorado State, where he led the Rams to a 10-2 record last season.
