McElwain Era
On December 12, 2011 Graham hired the National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide's veteran offensive coordinator Jim McElwain to replace Fairchild as CSU's head coach. McElwain's tenure started on a high note thanks to CSU's 22-17 comeback win over arch-rival Colorado on September 1, 2012. McElwain became the first CSU coach since Jerry Wampfler in 1970 to win his first game and the first in school history to win his debut against CU. The Rams finished 4-8 in McElwain's first year.
