It's true, and most of those were made by Florida fans. The one I distinctly remember saying that Trask should be the starter was Straws. Give credit where credit is due. (There may have been a couple of others, i just remember Straws being adament

Straws was on that from day one.

The point is many UF fans did not think Franks should’ve been replaced in the 2019 offseason. No one did.

Now after the Miami game... yeah a bunch of us on here were ticked off. Franks played good against UTM, then broke his ankle against UK and the rest is history.

Yes. I do remember that. We don't see eye to eye on much, but he was dead right on that.

I understand that, but a really good coach doesn't let the fans wants dictate what happens. I'm not saying Mullen did that, because he doesn't seem to be the type. I suspect he has a mind of his own.

Franks was....confusing. He had all the talent in the world and he would flash it just often enough to make you think he was going to turn the corner. I get it from Mullen's viewpoint. It is very difficult to replace a talent like that, especially when he seems to be about ready to turn the corner.

Then, all of a sudden Franks seemed to forget all the progress he made.

Well, like you said, he got hurt and the rest is history. Trask has done a great job for you.

I apologize if I came off as trolling. it was not my intent. I have some strong opinions and sometimes I express them when I should stay quiet.
