Two quarters into the season, Gator fans already calling for Emory Jones
It hasn’t taken very long for Gator fans to start calling for the team’s backup quarterback to see the field.
Florida entered the season ranked as the nation’s No. 8 team but they haven’t lived up to the hype thus far, as the team is down 13-7 in the third quarter of team’s opener against Miami from Orlando.
While Feleipe Franks hasn’t been bad, he was responsible for one lost fumble in the red zone and was a part in another lost fumble in the first half of the game.
Despite a decent showing, many Gator fans are eager to see Dan Mullen turns over the keys to the offense to backup signal-caller Emory Jones.
Hey Dan Mullen, Emory Jones is waiting his turn!

Please change the gameplan. Put in Emory Jones. Let him and Toney win this game on offense!

Franks just entered the transfer portal.
Lol!
Hahahahahahahahaha!
ANY kind of Offense at all, Miami would have won this game. Florida better get it figured out , because it doesn’t get a whole lot easier for them. Miami now it has an easy ACC schedule. We’ll see?
ATTENTION ALL GATORS FANS…SINCE YOUR DAN GAVE ME A CRAPPY REPLY TO A EMAIL. I’M GIVING Y’ALL THE DIRT HE WONT!!! READ EVERY WORD AND YOU DECIDE IF HE IS RIGHT OR WRONG!!!!
Probably shouldn’t but I will. I wonder how many Gators fans or for that matter any know this? Justin Fields talked with Dan the man long before he ended up at Ohio state!!!! There is WAY MORE, SO READ ALL!!!!!!
I DON’T KNOW ALL DETAILS, SO GIVING YOU THE GIST. MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU WILL.
He simply wanted to know. Would he get the benefit of the doubt or was it a waste of his time? Dan reportedly said something like. Well we have Felipe doing real well right now. And bringing you on at this moment could cause my QBs some concerns. Causing them to lose their focus. Possibly putting one or more in the portal. They could be right where you are. F stands for Fields. M for Mullen. Anyway, then…F. So you think I can’t run the offense or what??? D. No it’s not that at all. It’s more about getting the PLAYBOOK down. Then..F. Yea, but I basically ran a very similar offense in high school. The OC based the offense on your offensive style exactly. Even had Dak come down and talk to us once. M. Yea, but it’s the plays that are different and you gotta learn them and it’s kinda late. F. Yea, but I ain’t trying to start day one if I ain’t ready. I just want a shot. Like a package or something. I realized I’m better suited to y’alls kind of offense. I mean I can do it all. But I’m gonna go somewhere where I can utilize all my skill the best. M. Yea, but it’s still a lot of risk involved. We’re talking about a scholarship here to. I already have a walk on QB that I promised a scholarship about a week ago. Gotta honor man you know. F. So you think you can work something out? I heard a few of those guys might not make it anyway!!! M. Oh yea, where’d you hear that? F. It gets around, but I’m just saying you know. Work something out. Y’all ain’t gotta start me if I ain’t up to it. Truth is I don’t want to be thrown out there looking bad if I ain’t ready. I mean I can learn that playbook fast. All I’m saying is I do want to be part of the rotation at least by mid season. If I ain’t good enough by then for a package or something. Then if I have to. I’ll stay and play next year, it’s all good coach. Just so long as I know I’m gonna get a even shake. M. Yea, I hear ya. So what happened over there in Georgia? If you don’t mind my ask. F. Naw I don’t mind. Nothing really happened. It’s just they had a 5 star freshman that had done took them to a national championship and played real well. I played in and out. M. Yea but you didn’t throw much. F. Yea, some of that was by design. But some of it just wasn’t there so I ran it. Like I said. He was just there first. They told me I could compete day one and we did. But he had to much of a head start. All it would have been is a constant QB controversy and I don’t want that myself. I mean maybe I stepped on his shoes and all. But even if I would have won the job this coming season. I mean he’s still good enough to be stepping on my shoes to every time I have a bad play or a bad game. I just need a new start with a team where I think I can use all my skill. And have a good chance that’s all. M. Yea I hear ya. You do know we are rivals so there must be some bad blood there? F. No not at all. I LOVE MY TEAM AND TEAMMATES A LOT. KIRBY HAS BEEN REAL FAIR TO ME. It wasn’t even him getting in my way if anybody. It was more Chaney!!! Kirby had got mad at him a few times and told him I was more than a running back. M. Chaney is not gonna be there now. F. Yea, but I still don’t need to be stepping on nobody’s feet. Truth is he runs that style offense about as good as anybody can. I might could be as good but not BETTER. So we would both just be stepping on each others shoes. Plus they gonna change the offense a little anyway. M. Really? How so? F. Just like throwing to the TEs more kinda like the patriots do. They still gonna run the ball. I mean that’s who Georgia is. They got the best offensive line in football and they gonna run that ball. They use all their running backs. They. just gonna get the running backs and TEs both more into the pass game. To help them WR get wide open. Coley he’s gonna do good things. M. So it’s Coley huh? F. Yea pretty solid on that. Anyway,I just didn’t want to have to keep stepping on shoes with Jake. I mean I’m good and he’s good. It’s just better this way. M. Yea I hear ya, hey glad to hear from you. I got a few things I gotta do and some calls to make. F. Yea, Well are you still interested in my services or not??? I mean you want me to get down there for a visit? Then….M. Well let me sleep on it and get back to you, alright??? F. Alright, whatever. THE END…..Exact timeline of conversation unknown. Possibly not word for word but just THE GIST.
Then boom it was OSU!!!! Mullen passed on him for Franks feelings???? If I know and the family knows. Even the town probably by now. Mullen won’t look so brilliant on this one. If he can’t cover it up. But it gets soooooooo much worse….
Florida don’t worry me at all. But Justin Fields running that offense. Now that would have made me raise an eyebrow!!!! He is like far more perfect for that Meyer, Mullen offense than Dak Prescott ever was!!! He was there for the snatching to!!! Apparently Dan had his feelings hurt!!!!
I emailed the horses ars himself. I was told to go pick up Uga’s poop!!! You know the mascot??? So I told him I’ll be sharing the story. He said share away. So there it is!!!! Y’all could have had Fields tossing it to those WRs!!!! But as I promised WORSE. I’M GIVING YOU WORSE….
URBAN MEYER INTERESTED STILL
I told y’all Urban Meyer was still interested in the gators job. Y’all didn’t believe me. The proof was the recent article where he called Florida his favorite job. AND HE WAS AT THE MIAMI GAME like I told y’all months ago he would be!!!! I told y’all about the secret meeting he had with Gators high ups. He was only suggesting that IF THINGS WENT BADLY FOR MULLEN. WOULD HE POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED, EVEN FOR A LITTLE LESS PAY, IN THE BEGINNING. CONSIDERING THE SCANDAL AND POSSIBLE BUYOUT OF MULLENS CONTRACT, SHOULD THAT HAPPEN.
He was told ” NO ” in a real nice way. Well better put NOT NOW anyway. That they were invested in Mullen, win, LOSE or draw for 5 years at minimum!!! That is regardless of the contract one way or the other. Mullen has sold them on the possibility of a loooooooooooong term rebuild. Of course with a SHORT TERM PROMISE!!! According to him it just has to be done. They were then told. ” NO, TO LONG TO WAIT. AND IF THINGS WENT SOUTH. THAT UGA WOULD BE TO FAR AHEAD BY THEN!!! He believed that he had a plan that could rebuild them now almost right away. But that it was imperative that it be done EITHER NOW OR NEXT YEAR AT THE LONGEST PERIOD. ” And believe me as much as I don’t like him. His next offer was more than fair and he felt that he could still begin his master plan but Mullen would have to agree!!! So listen to this..
Even worse. If you can believe it. Urban Meyer actually asked Dan Mullen if he would like for him to JOIN HIS STAFF as a CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR or possibly as a adviser type I forget the official name. A guy who holds a clipboard and just kind of helps out. That he felt he could help in a stay less stressful on himself and he had a master plan. Which apparently included THE TRANSFER PORTAL, FORMER/CURRENT PLAYERS FROM OSU CONSIDERING TRANSFER IF MEYER WAS INVOLVED. AS WELL AS BIG TIME 2020 and 2021 RECRUITS. BUT…But, but your sweet DANNY BOY replied, NO!!! At least not right now. Because that wouldn’t be healthy for the continuity of the staff as a whole. And could be viewed as a loss of faith in the staff. Which is BS BECAUSE MULLEN CALLS ALL THE PLAYS HIMSELF!!! This master plan gets even better!!!! And involves HUGE GATOR LEGENDARY NAMES!!!
More on the master plan in a moment. But He/Danny boy is just afraid that Meyer wanted his job. Well in that way he might be right!!!!! Maybe he recalled something at Tennessee where Fulmer pushed Johnny Majors out, or is it Magers??? Oh well. Anyway….
But hey be honest. Who would y’all really rather see running the show. Mullen or Meyer???? Even better I have some news that will make some of you want to give the gators uppers a dress down!!!
Meyers first proposal was IF IT WENT SOUTH FOR MULLEN IN YEAR 2 or 3 at the most. Would they be interested in his services as Head coach. And that he would probably offer Mullen the OC job if he was interested. But in the event that he probably wasn’t because of THE BUYOUT LAWS ETC. That he would want to bring TIM TEBOW in. EITHER AS QB COACH IF MULLEN AGREED TO BE OC or as QB COACH and Co-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. OR however he would fit the best.
Now for the worst. Apparently while sniffing Mullens tail for a job. He apparently came right out and told Mullen. It didn’t matter to him at that moment who was running the show. That the BIGGER PICTURE MATTERS MOST. That he was able to get Tebow right then and begin a plan to CLOSE THE GAP THIS SEASON!!!!!!!! The only thing that could do that was the secretly mentioned….5 superstar OSU PLAYERS ready to join Florida YESTERDAY IF URBAN WAS PART OF THE DEAL. All 5 superstar players would have been ELIGIBLE to!!! One you already know. He was willing to look over basically being blown off!!! So when Mullen told Meyer not today. That was STRIKE 3 with him!!! As far as the eligibility thing. Urban already knew!!!! And a BOATLOAD of 2020 and 2021 kids were ready to give their commitment to!!! Big time names!!!
But as soon as Mullen shot down that idea and basically said NO!!! That is when you started having the worst of your 2020s and 2021 kids apparently heard about it and got mad and said NO TO FLORIDA. I IMAGINE, I CAN’T CONFIRM THAT OFFICIALLY. Anyway…
At any rate. If the UPPERS would have handled things right and IF DANNY BOY didn’t get his feelings hurt. As early as this season or next at most.
Y’all would have had Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and Dan Mullen all on the sidelines for the gators. WITH JUSTIN FIELDS AS YOUR QB!!! Along with no telling how many OSU players jump into the portal to be with Meyer. And All those 4 and 5 star players they get would be in that 2020 class.
All that could have happened THIS SEASON if Mullen hadn’t been so hard headed and jealous or paranoid or both!!! THE GATORS WOULD DEFINITELY BE CLOSING THE GAP HAD THAT HAPPENED!!!! But as is, enjoy Felipe Franks for better or for worse!!!
