You guys forget that Jordan Reed and Trey Burton functioned in this offense, and Reed apparently couldnt even call cadence and line everyone up correctly.

Franks has enough to make these quick decisions. You guys always blame the QB for bad offenses and Nussdumps was among the worst. No way to complete passes when you call the same plays every first and third down.

Im not saying Franks works out, but if looking terrible in Butters offense meant you were terrible, then Grier stunk it up in 17 of his 20 quarters and must be a failure too.

No one is saying that. I sure didnt. What I said was mullen has to change up how he employs the QB. That happened when he was an OC under Meyer, but I havent found anything where he did it since becoming the head decision maker on a team. Leads me to think he may not want/like doing it. Of course it can be done. Will he do it? And if so will he do it where it works? Those are the questions.

He had to play a mostly passing QB at Miss State for a while but the results weren't that good.

I see, so winning a natty isn't good enough for you since your standards are just THAT high. Good luck with that.

Agreed that Corral probably has to step in and go from Day 1 and at least he'll be able to go through spring ball and summer to get used to it. Hopefully Mullen doesn't scare him away chasing after Fields

If our offensive line didn't scare him, doubt Mullen will

Matt Corral, Malik Zaire, or some transfer QB will be our new starter. I knew Franks was done when Mullen was talking about the importance of how quickly a QB can process information. We might as well recruit an extra QB because Feleipe is gone.

Kadarius should be drinking about five protein shakes a day and max lifting like mad in anticipation of getting a shot at this barring some miraculous signing.

So, did we have bad coaching or not?

I'm very confused.

All year I've heard nearly every poster b!tch and complain about how horrible Mac and Nuss were doing at their respective jobs. And if you subscribe to that notion, how then can you turn and be so harsh towards the QB? I understand that Franks looked pretty bad, but doesn't poor coaching affects a player's ability to perform? Especially a Freshman playing in his first collegiate games.

I'm not saying that Franks will grow into an NFL caliber player, but I'm willing to hold off on passing judgement until I see what he looks like with proper coaching. I feel like that about all the players. Mac failed these kids. Let's see what Mullen can get out of them.

Franks isn't good. Coaching was a problem but f--k sakes they can't throw it for him. How many open WR's did he miss for TD's? That last pass against LSU says it all. Throws into traffic over the middle to 5'6 Brandon Powell, when the easy check down to an open Mark T keeps the drive alive. He can't process information. Mullen talked about being able to process information quickly. This kid probably takes 1 hour to read green eggs and ham.

Franks seems very slow to process anything,.

Let me ask you something, imagine your were a young QB who sat and watch film for hours then got an explanation from your QB Guru, "And yet, its a just hit the open guy kinda deal, i mean you gotta know where your peanut butter is spread, and yet, you have to feel the play, you know what I mean? Dont worry about it. It's gonna be a blast. Kewl?"

I’m still confused why Allen and Trask suck and don’t deserve a chance at the job next year.

Does either QB give us a chance to win next year? I’m done with Franks, and Corrall has yet to sign. I think a transfer QB would really help us.

Name and town if you wish to opine.

What you better hope is that whomever is the best QB for UF is the QB next year whether that is Allen, Corral, Franks, Trask or Zaire. There is no way to know which of these guys will rise to the top under a new system. Everyone can have their own opinion, but if UF were to move back ot a pre-2002 meritocracy finally, then there is no way to know.
