Mullen will treat Franks similar to Tebow early in his career, give him a quarter of the field to read if not there, run. Not saying same ball park in mental skills (mostly nowhere near equal in maturity). But unlike Nuss, who was forcing Franks who was too raw coming in as a Freshman to read the entire field with receivers who couldn't run routes at all. I expect our receivers to have the ability to run routes (something that has been missing 7 out of 8 years), and Franks not to be asked to read more than he can handle. That still means the ceiling to our offense will be low, but I do expect Franks to look better because he isn't going to be asked to do as much.

None of our QBs will look as bad, bc the wont be put in entirely predictable positions such as always running play action on 3rd down, and fooling absolutely no one onnthe defense and then running the play to #4 Powell

Is it me or did that actually sound POSITIVE???

Well the guy that we hired consistently had a top 60 total offense in the SEC West so I’m confident our offense is not going to be in the 100s anymore. It still amazes me that a top tier program like UF has had this long of an offensive drought but I guess that’s what you get when you have dumbazzes like Foley running the show.

I don't care if I'm quoted in sigs (it's flattering as I'm in over 100 sigs on the GCMB and am a deity here), but they need to be accurate quotes. You can't change them and then claim I made them. Either fix it or remove my name.

Our OL recruiting fell off at the end of Spurrier so I guess that the pendulum started falling back as SOS headed for the NFL. Meyer certainly pushed the offense back to the top of the pendulum swing. Hopefully Mullen replicates Meyer. We have plenty of good WRs now like SOS had but OL and QB need fixing.

Can relate on Ox saying things about you that are not true.

Top 60...

as if that is a good thing.

We just want a guy who can take top 20 talent... and make a top 60 team.

Meyers average offense was lower than Zook's. Zooks worst year was top 20.

Defense, ST, recruiting.. no comaprison of course.

I doubt Franks is able to run decent against any SEC opponent we face. Yes he may break a run here and there for a good gain due to having some open field speed but when he runs it I see a bunch of runs for just a couple of yards. Also with his decision making I think he will screw up his basic reads on that stuff quite a bit and do the opposite of what it calls for just like Driskel in 2014 before they pretty much put an end to his option runs mostly.

Wouldn't surprise me if he looks good against that opening joke opponent getting everyones hopes up and then comes crashing down even against lowly KY.

Meyers 07, 08 and 09 offenses were better than any offense in the Zook years even though 09 was mostly a paper tiger that didnt show up in the bigger games.

Zook's offense was a crappy #55 or #46 in yards per game in 03 depending on what source is used.

I know this a novel idea but Im gonna let this guy coach em up a few times before I look for sharp objects. Sounds like the S&C coach is doing good things this summer. I certainly like Millens better than what has stood in as an offensive coach the last 10 years......but then again I AM the eternal optimist.........

I didn't like the hire but hope he can turn things around but this recruiting stuff has me losing faith quickly.
