I said in the Mullen Hire thread that I hope he's seen not only how our team has responded with a more dynamic passing attack, but also how the shift of the game is taking place. Personally, I don't think we have a Fitzgerald type QB on the roster. Jones has a great arm, Richardson is young but did well at the E11, and while I don't know much about DelRio, we also have Kitna in this upcoming class. I think Mullen has shown he can and will adapt. With Trask it was out of necessity due to skill set. In the future, it may be more about where the game is headed currently. I'd personally be more concerned with the "win 21-14" mindset that exists at every other East school right now. The timing is setting up perfectly in that regard.
On the Franks/Trask thing, no. As I've said, practice reports for years had Trask very up and down, never great. Franks fit the mold, and has the "potential". No different than the 4(I think) teams that have gone out of their way to sign Driskell in the NFL. Some OC or coach sees the measurables and upside and thinks they can be the one to get it out of him. Trask is just a baller. But it wasn't as if Franks was playing horrible at the finish of '18. He looked good in the final 4 games. He just didn't improve at all going into last year. Also, remember, it took a 12 Int day by Dean against Auburn for Spurrier to completely give the reigns to DW. And that was after he'd bailed us out in Lexington the year before. Some guys are just way better with the lights on.
