FORT COLLINS, Colo. - What does Tim Tebow have in common with new CSU Head Coach Jim McElwain?

Well, they're both former college quarterbacks, they shared a raucous stadium during several matchups in the Southeastern Conference, they both came to Colorado because of a career promotion, and after CSU replaced its Moby Arena signage on Shields and Elizabeth streets, each man even has a billboard.

Now, after McElwain worked tirelessly for 27 years to land his first head coaching job on Tuesday, he joined @TimTebow in the world of Twitter.

With the handle @CoachMcElwain, CSU's new leader sent out his first tweet early Wednesday morning. Fans are invited to search for CoachMcElwain and become a follower.
