@malbaker86 @VAGATOR81 so how would you assess McElwain so far?

It is early, but he is off to a good start. I think his staff has a nice mix of young and old coaches. Naturally, recruiting will be key. Muschump devastated the program hence starting three true freshman on the oline and being out of the top 25 for almost two years. I will follow closely how he handles the QB issue....it will make or break his time at UF.

Is Harris clearly better than Grier? The little I saw of Harris didn't look too good, but I don't really know. QB decisions are the toughest things for coaches. They can make you look like a genius or kill your career.

I thought Dobbs was known for throwing.. Why didn't they have him throw more even though he was effective at running :dwillhuh:

Dude don't ask me. Everyone is confused by this. Butch Jones is just an idiot. This is the same clown that goes for 1 when he's up 12 with 10 minutes to go.

Dobbs was a 4 star recruit as a pro style QB. Nobody looked at him as a run first guy. He was an elite 11 finalist. Butch has transformed him into an option QB. Its inexcusable. He doesn't know how to coach. Dobbs talent as well as the rest of the team is being wasted.

UF should run Treon and Co the first 3 downs and let Grier only pass on 4th down. We'd be 15-0. :pachaha:How do you go 5/5 with 180 yds and 2 TDs but suck the rest of the game?:mjlol::deadmanny:


UT :bryan::huhldup::deadmanny::deadmanny::deadmanny::deadrose::dead::heh::shaq2::mindblown::steviej::sadbron::deadmanny::deadmanny::mjlol::mjlol::umad:
The fukkery was circus level :russ::banderas::banderas:

My squad had me:mjcry::francis::ohhh::wow::blessed::ohhh::huhldup::lupe::whew::salute::dead: go gata


What happened on the 4th downs is we went conservative prevent defense.

This is why Butch Jones is finished IMO. We were agressive the whole game blitzing and playing man. Then on 4th downs we rush 3, spy the QB, and play zone.

That is why Grier had succees. The cac sucks. He's just lucky Butch Jones is on the other side.

Because for some reason...they let Grier off the hook by going soft on 4th downs...look the game winning play... they only rushed 3 and had a spy on a 4 and 15...:francis: I will take it but damn, how can you not bring the heat against a freshman with no pocket presence and shown very little passing ability to that point in the game. Davis should of been fired Kiffen style after this one.


Cosign 100%. Tennessee was better than both Oklahoma and Florida. The players dominated most of the game. Its the coaches that pulled defeat outta the jaws of victory.

Butch Jones should be unemployed today for the game yesterday. Inexcusable. Especially after the Oklahoma debacle.

6 NFL WRs and Dobbs only throws for 83 yards :mjcry:

Butch Jones is their coach breh. He thinks going for 1 when your up 12 with 10 minutes left is the good call.

I feel bad for the Tennessee players. They're good enough to be 4-0 with a halfway decent coach.

Butch Jones can recruit but he's terrible at game management. He's beaten his own team twice now.

He's a great runner and terrible passer. He makes Juice Williams passing look like Air McNair(RIP)

He can throw. Dobbs was a 4 star recruit as a pro style QB. Nobody knew he could run like he's doing right now because he was a passer coming out of high school. Remember he was an elite 11 finalist. You don't get that for running.

Butch Jones stupidity is to blame for why Dobbs now looks like an option QB.

No. But you know a certain element of the fan base :mjpls: is not going give Harris the breaks Grier gets. They already written the narrative about how gutsy Grier was with this game, versus the truth, Tennessee had an epic choke job. We have fallen for this hype with QBs before (John Brantley, Jeff Driskel) and the brother QBs do not get a fair shot. It has torn the team apart and cost coaches their jobs. That is the trap McElwain must avoid.

Dobbs just ran for 136 yards on an atletic Florida defense. He's got only 1 interception. He's played well.

Tennessee's collapses vesus Florida and Oklahoma are on Butch Jones.

You're an idiot. Jeff Driskel was a 5*, Brantley a 4*, Xavier Lee 5*, Mitch Mustain 5*,etc all won HS awards and sucked in college. I don't pay any attention to awards given in non college game settings. All those camps are nothing more than flag football and warmups. They mean shyt.

To be fair Treons fukkery is costing him favors. Grier sucked most of the game and if Treon would have been in things could of been different. I don't think either is the QB of future as right now. Grier has a higher ceiling but has no deep ball accuracy and Treons arm strength is weaker. Time will tell
