Jim McElwain, Florida president switch jobs for April Fool’s Day

Compared to other April Fool's pranks, this isn't on the level of Sidd Finch.

He was hired to turn around the Gators, who were 7-5 and 4-4 in the SEC, which was an improvement from 2013, when Florida was 4-8 (3-5 in the SEC) and lost to Georgia Southern in The Swamp.
