Really, after Appleby, another cull from up north is coming our way. This staff is unduly enamored by other team's rejects.
UPDATE: QB Malik Zaire officially a Gator

I think he transferred to WVU eventually.
I heard he had some severe psychological things going on. Pretty sure he never played a snap.

Yep that lack of Spring practice will be bad as far as Zaire being ready. If LDR is healthy by the start of camp I could see Mac possibly starting him in the Michigan game just because he has the QB switch to go to when the fans are raising hell if the QB gets ate up that game. I think he wants to avoid putting Franks out there that game and would much rather him get his first snaps against the cupcake team.

Yeah by mid October, 2222 and the rest of the UAA Borg will be blaming the QBs and even Nusschump demanding their heads.

So in other words he's ready to concede the biggest opener we've had in yrs on a national stage? If that's his train of thought then he should be fired right after the Michigan game! He's had 2 yrs to find a quality QB...he hasn't! He's had a year and a half to get one of Franks/Trask ready and if they aren't it just proves he's not the guy to lead this program.

We are bringing back Nusschump and Company. He will be Nusschumping.
He will be doing it with either a piece off Oregon State or ND's trash heap, or maybe even a freshman who has never taken a snap. If he does it with ND's reject, he will be doing so with a QB who has only had three weeks of practice, who wont know 10% of the play book, no doubt. As you saw with Applebees, a transfer is just getting used to the playbook by the bowl game.
It isnt about conceding, its about living in Realityville. We have conceded the next two years (plus a transition year or three) by continuing down this path.

Well I would say its more Mac is scared what Franks might do out there with Michigan blitzing almost every passing down and he knows he could switch to Franks the next game if LDR really stinks it up out there. It will be interesting to see if Zaire gets the start with only a few weeks of practice. That would say a lot about Franks if he does. I might be wrong thinking this but I think Franks has been Driskeling a bunch in practice just reading between the lines and listening to what a few talking heads have said they have been told. Just look at how Mac protected Franks in that Spring practice. I have never seen it made that easy for a likely starting QB before.

No as I have stated in the past Chip has no interest in coming to UF, nor do we have any chance of hiring him. Now if he wanted to come here I would be fine with that, I really don't think he would be a success for various reasons.

Allow me to posit the opposite, uf812 = It's 36 pages plus due to the prevalent & prospering negative conclusion-jumps on GatChat. There's no well-founded info that Franks is subpar. Think about it. What official would tell the public that Franks is a mental midget having trouble with the mental aspects of the game? Suppose long ago someone tried out the rumor that Franks is doing fine. The anti-Mac naysayers would kill that suggestion immediately in scorching fashion. Thus, no pages on that likelihood.
The fact that Franks was coddled in the spring game may just be smart coaching ... that is, Franks first public showing, his first spring game was a confidence shredder. So, Mac wanted to make sure Franks did well this spring's public showing to keep Franks' development, which has been positive, on a continued upward trajectory. Such a neutral or positive "take" will not be allowed here, never permitted to get started.
Then this Zaire conundrum is taken by naysayers to prove Franks isn't reliable as a starter. Well last year, Franks was not up for starter and Mac brought in AA = injury backup to LDR. So, without negative spin, Zaire is injury backup to Franks??
Whenever there's a rumored hint of knowledge, the immediate negative is implied and run with as fully known truth. We do not fully know much of anything on specifics on this team's status, nor particular player's status. There, I've added to the pages.

Who's to say we haven't already given Zaire a playbook knowing he wanted to come here and potentially knowing that the grad transfer rule would be changed? Now obviously this would only be okay if we already had a handshake agreement, and Sankey's word behind closed doors. Any chance this is possible?
The kid is obviously smart having graduated from ND and having Harvard as an option for his 5th year. I'm hoping he can pick up an offense quickly if he comes here.

Michigan fans are pretty arrogant looking at some of their thoughts. I guess they think we are almost an automatic win since Nuss is our OC.

I guess I would have a little more confidence also if the Gators were facing a Nuss offense. I doubt any Gator fan wants us to actually lose.

You would certainly think by some of the comments. And yet, there are some logical arguments being made that we are in some shambles.I bet some of our posters want Michigan to win more than most Michigan fans...
