I guess Roper has his marching orders. I can't remember someone as hard headed as Muschamp.
"Florida offensive coordinator Kurt Roper reiterated Thursday night on Gator Hotline that he has complete confidence in quarterback Jeff Driskel. Many fans and critics have called for the redshirt junior’s job after his poor performance in the loss to Alabama two weeks ago.
Asked if he’s prepared to play backup Treon Harris against Tennessee if Driskel struggles again Saturday, Roper said he doesn’t have that mindset and playing time for Harris would only come if Driskel gets injured.
“My focus right now is on Jeff playing as well as he can possibly play,†Roper said. “My focus is not, ‘Hey, if it goes bad, what are we going to do?’ Our focus as a staff is to prepare Jeff as best as we possibly can and have good thoughts going into the game.â€
Driskel told the media Monday he has stayed off social media lately, calling it “an unnecessary distraction.†Roper said it comes with the territory of playing quarterback."
