Meanwhile many gator fans were asking “Who the hell is Kyle Trask, why hasn’t he been playing before now?”

When Trask was a freshman, Spurrier saw him at practice and commented on what an accurate, catchable ball he threw. My GC comment at the time, "Trask for the Heisman."

I remember joking and supporting "Trask for Heisman." Twas some funny, triggering chit.

Billy Napier eyes potential Offensive Coordinator
Recently, Billy Napier had to frantically replace his staff after several assistants left to take on positions in the NFL.
Austin Armstrong was hired to become defensive coordinator, taking on play-calling duties. Russ Callaway was also promoted from within the organization to take the position of tight ends coach. The wide receiver coaching position took longer to fill but was eventually settled on as former Florida Gators receivers coach Billy Gonzalez.
After some inconsistent offensive performances during his first season, there were more than a few fans that were curious as to if the Gators' production could improve if Napier could delegate some duties to a full-time Offensive Coordinator.
Over the last few weeks, Napier's staff has been engaged in a search process to identify ideal OC candidates with the proper skills, knowledge and experience that could mesh well with the current coaching staff.
One such candidate will be very familiar to fans of the program, as it is Dan Mullen, who was just fired and bought out one year prior at the conclusion of the 2021 football season.
Sources indicate that Mullen would take on a position designated co-offensive coordinator, sharing the title with offensive line coach Rob Sale, but becoming the head play caller, deferring only to head coach Napier, if need be.
During Mullen's first interview with coach Napier, he is quoted as saying "As long as I gained more yards than my opponent, I feel like I won the game."
If Mullen does indeed land the job, it is certain to grab media headlines nationally, as such a reunion is rarely seen and would beg to question whether Napier and Mullen's personalities and playstyles would be a good match.
The Florida Sun Times will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
Happy late April Fools

It was painfully obvious Trask had the best arm on the team during his first O&B game.

Not true. Franks had a cannon. Trask had the quick release and the catchable ball, like Danny W. Also Trask was very quick to recognize a defense and get rid of the ball to the right guy. He was accurate and on time. Arm Strength was average which is why he's having a hard time cracking the lineup in the NFL.
So sad we had no defense. We could have been contenders.

Trasks placement, release and ball placement reminded me if Danny. Spurrier would have had him in Heisman contention. But Like Danny, I doubt Trask will be a starter in the NFL. I hope he can be a back-up. Good money in it without the wear and tear.
