Tomorrow when Colorado State announces their new head coach, it is expected to be Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain

McElwain is familiar with the area as he coached at Fresno State before heading to Tuscaloosa.  McElwain inherits a talented quarterback in Pete Thomas and a workhorse back in Chris Nwoke so he should be able to do some work on offense.
