The first Post-Mac casualty...

You are probably right. But then to be fair, at least Doug had some decent coaching.
Doug was actually a better than average qb. He just suffered by comparison to 7 years of Matthews and Wuerffel. Then he was followed by Rex, pretty elite company. But compared to College QBs across the board he was better than most.

I actually don’t think he is necessarily a dual-threat guy at all. But Allen is like the anti-dual threat, where as a guy like Corral is much more athletic. Whoever is brought in here will tailor a system to Corral IMO
First things first: We need Corral to sign on the UF dotted line for "whoever is brought in here".

Maybe Corral won't like "whoever". Or maybe rivals who have recruiters who specialize in lying to 17-or-18-year-olds will talk Corral out of UF. A head-coaching change is almost as great an opportunity for that slithering kind of rival recruiter as a public scandal [×]. And anyone Corral trusts can contribute to fear, uncertainty, and doubt. What if the UF assistant who built the recruiting relationship during Corral's high-school years loses his job at UF, thus no longer available to debunk rival lies?

Don't count your Gators before they hatch sign!

Note ×: Especially any scandal whose period of penalties blankets a player's expected college career. Although it's not an issue at UF nowadays, but it was an awful burden that was personally unfair to Galen Hall in the late 1980s.

Was that why Spurrier felt the needs to change QB on nearly every play against FSU? Because Doug was a "better than average QB?"

I didn’t say he was good enough to suit Spurrier, I said, consider who he was compared to, the bar was pretty high. But if you look at his career and compare him to other college QBs of his era, he looks pretty good. Better than most even.

504/907 7114yds 62tds 36int. Not Danny, but not bad. The biggest knock is the lack of championships. Let’s dont forget there wasn’t a Reidel Anthony or Ike Hilliard or Harrison Houston or Willie Jackson or Aubrey Hill or Chris Doering or Jack Jackson on that roster from 97-99. He had Jaquez Green for one year and he caught 61 passes for 1024 yards.
I don’t mean to disparage the receivers that played those years, but we didn’t have the star power we had become accustomed to. Doug’s best receiver was Travis McGriff who was great, but he’s not winning any jump balls and he’s not outrunning any Cornerbacks to get behind the defense.


In 1997 he was a true sophomore. Alternating QBs was just Spurrier doing his thing. I think he felt having Doug on the sidelines during a drive gave him a chance to coach him up. Doug did the majority of the passing in those games.

He was good enough to play every other play vs FSU.

But Doug never lost his job over a length of time.

Shane, Rex, and Danny were all benched by Spurs. They average?
 
Yep no reason to burn anyone's redshirt now. You never know on seeing the field however as it wouldn't shock me if Franks was to leave town. He probably won't but you never know. A lot of people forget that Zaire has an argument for another year since he was injured and missed some practice time that initial redshirt season.
If Zaire is the best that we have then we need another QB. Offense looks like straight garbage.

how many more re runs of days of our lives do people need to see to realize no matter who the QB is they are given no chance to succeed, but at least Zaire can make shit up on his own with his feet since the route and play combos are absolutely laughable. I truly don't think people understand just how pathetic nuss and mac have really been at this football topic
 
Mizzou putting 42 on us today...geez...lol...we are awful!

and most of it is all coaching, everywhere.. in every aspect of the sport, no one on that team is coached outside of the RBs... NO ONE

and they are all soft and look like they've been playing the Cowboys in Little Giants

our players make it look like they face off against the Seahawks every week for eternity.. Every game with this staff would have looked exactly the same, every day, every game and every single snap, if a snap is gotten off in time.. They are the worst staff that has ever been there in my life...
