You could put Tebow, Danny, Rex, hell, even Spurrier the QB back there with this mentally defective coaching staff and they wouldn't do jack ****.
Agreed....it has less to do with Franks than the coaches, their sh!tty system and mind boggling moronish playcalling...Franks is what we knew he was, not a knock on him, but the coaches need to make him better, or find someone else or even better yet just pack their bags.

Well...We know Rex would have run some Spurrier plays at some point, so I'll say he would have got us a W. Point taken though. This staff can not evaluate, develop, or game plan. No talent infusion will change that.

He is limited, of course. We all knew that. But design plays around his strengths. Throw some deep balls to get LSU to back off, design more screens (preferably to Davis), slants, roll him out to cut the field in half..

This crap falls 100% on Mac & Nuss’ shoulders. You can say they haven’t been able to develop Franks (true) but who HAVE they developed? I’m not going to act like LDR would have definitely won us the game, I’ve seen enough of his play to know that is not a given by any stretch.

We could have easily won that game with better schemes and playcalls. Oh, and using Davis as our workhorse, not splitting carries with Perine. It’s obvious to anybody with a brain that 20 is head and shoulders above our other RBs.
We could have won the game with better QB execution. You guys screamed at LDR. Now you have what you asked for. Live with it. Also, we threw deep balls. All they did was kill drives.

Again with your reading comprehension. I never said anything bad about Jews. Unless insinuating you are Jewish is somehow insulting to Jews everywhere, at which point you may have a point. They probably are insulated. So my apologies to them.

And do you really not know the reference alcoholica? I mean you know everything, we can tell by reading your posts. You want to try that one again Goldbergenstein?
I liked your observation that LDR would have won the game (a lot of people who claim to know football look pretty foolish now), but religion should be kept out of a sports forum, and anti-Semitism is particularly disgusting. Leave it alone.

This....they would only bring quality talent down to their limited level. There is a reason no one has put up big numbers as a team or individually under Mac or Muschamp before him.
I would also add that they have not shown in 3 years now the ability to make in game adjustments....They do however have a game plan....and yes I mean A game plan. It's the same one for EVERY game. It's the one that literally sucks all the fun out of watching Gator football for the fans.

Please tell me what I said that was anti-Semitic. Or do you just jump to conclusions as well. If you can't comprehend, stay out of they conversation. Law is offended that I think he's Jewish. When have I said anything bad about the Jews other than call Law one

:exactly:Mac can't keep up with true quality D1 level coaches.....But never did I believe he would get out schemed by a true brain surgeon like The Oger. If he can't keep up how do we expect our players and QB's in particular to keep up with their competition. He has never beaten a team that he has not had a clear talent advantage over....never. He makes the stupidest personnel decisions imaginable,keeping potheads and felons on the team while sending the most talented offensive player Gville has seen in the last 9 years packing for trying to keep his weight up coming off the flu......Oh and people better believe he would keep marching that spoiled f vcking brat LDR out there if the sissy wasn't injured every time he got hit.....



But here's the real kicker....He threw the ball 16 times,.....16 times,....yes, 16 times in a game that we NEVER led.....
And Franks completed 10 of them.....sorry but I refuse to blame this on Franks. I'm not a big fan of any QB on our roster but he was probably better than the kid LSU had out there running a Mickey Mouse H.S. offense.....and yet McButters found a way to lose to that garbage.

Definitely got out schemed. Danny Etling might be the worst QB to ever win a game in the Swamp.

I do regret that we have reached the stage that some things almost can't be discussed. But in this particular instance you need to establish a legitimate reason in the context of football and its discussion or the remark about Hebrew schooing will be viewed as gratuitous and, therefore, anti-Semitic. Sorry, but that's the way I see it.

It's the coaches job to coach him up, or recruit someone capable of being coached up. Franks isn't the problem.

Then you are just a snowflake. You have given no basis for your offense other than I said Hebrew school which was a dig at Law's reading comprehension. If you went to the same Hebrew School, you should ask for a refund as well. I have higher expectations for Hebrews school based on their reputation as being good schools. They've failed both of you.

Franks can't even check down. And I never said the Mac and Nuss didn't deserve blame, but if you don't think that LDR wins that game, you're wrong. But go ahead and tweet your support to Franks and tweet to Mac and Stricklin like a 14 y/o girl. Maybe you can snapbook them or instachat them too.
LDR would have thrown 5 picks in 16 passes...so no...qe would have lost by 28 with LDR

well now you have a Franks led team. This is what it looks like. He's 20 times worse than Doug Johnson, but hey the fans wanted this, including over half this board.

I'm going to start saying LDR instead of Del Taco, because he wins that game yesterday. I know Mac sucks because he can't develop Franks, but SOS didn't exactly develop Sablehaus or Berlin who were top flight guys. Zaire was pursued because the coaches knew Franks sucked, but it was more of a hope and prayer because he sucks too.

I don't think that Franks will ever develop. He's lazy and has no real intangibles.

That's not to let Mac and Nuss off the hook. You know you have a one read sack of crap at QB, gameplay around it. If there's a play where we can pick up a great coach do it, but our best bet may be to keep Mac and hope this class gets built and stays together. I just don't see that homerun hire. Regardless changes have to be made in at least the assistant coach department. Maybe we should make a run at Brohm if he keeps this going at Purdue.

But again, Franks isn't the answer. He won't be. This is what the fans asked for, well you got it.
You know nothing.

This happened with the Chump and the pumpers. They became more indignant as the truth came to light that our head coach sucks balls. Seriously, I can do without the racist posts dude. We're all Gators in the end. Pumpers are going off the rails now.

Looked it up.. Marcus Outzen.

Outzen was better than Etling.

So I've been gone about a year. Early last week, just to see what's happening, I checked in, and saw a bunch of birthday wishes. Needless, to say, unlike the wins over LSU on Oct 7 1996 and Oct 7 2006, this was not a real happy birthday. I thought my birthday "luck" vs LSU would continue.

Wow! Checking in again today, I didn't know what to expect. I'm as upset as anyone else, but I just didn't expect this amount of vitriol. (although I expected angst - we've been living in angst since the 2009 season, well, including 2009, b/c so many on other boards were upset b/c we weren't winning by enough, even though we were #1 for nearly all of the year)

Some quick thoughts - (1) I don't think Franks processes the play and the checks fast enough to ever be effective, and I don't know if he ever will (2) I think Trask is still injured (3) maybe Zaire should play, but I don't know if he would process each play any faster. One thing is certain - I've never been one to "try to" lose to get rid of a coach. And I'm not gonna accept defeat just because it's a "rebuilding year". But I don't know what the solution is. And I'll tell you this - UF isn't going to can Mac after this year, no matter what happens.

So you've not been exposed to this team until now for the last 12 months? That vitriol you didn't expect to see will be knocking on the door in a few weeks...give it time.

Outzen was some stank (thanks Marquand Manuel) but Etling is worse than him.
