Will Jim McElwain's son will be rooting for Alabama on Saturday?

Published Dec. 3, 2015 3:49 p.m. ET

Florida head coach Jim McElwain will do everything in his power to win Saturday's monumental SEC Title Game against Nick Saban's vaunted Alabama squad. 

McElwain's family will surely be in attendance -- offering support to the head coach and the team. His son, Jerret, may be a bit conflicted as to which team he'll pull for.

Not only does McElwain's son attend Alabama as a student, but he also works for Saban as a recruiting specialist. 

"There's a reason I went to college [at Alabama]. I love the Tide to death," the younger McElwain told AL.com

While no one would fault the younger McElwain's allegiance towards his school (and employer), he still feels as if familial ties reign supreme in this scenario. 

"No matter how the game ends, I'll have a 'W' under my belt. It will be one of those games where I'm going to be happy at the end of the day no matter what," said McElwain's son. "I'll be on the Florida rooting side rooting on the family because family is more important than anything, but you can best believe I'm still going to be rooting for the Tide."
