Mullen talking about the Fields transfer back in February.

2019 UF early enrollee QB Jalon Jones enters transfer portal

Before the season even starts...


UF peeps... All trolling aside, any actual insights as to why? Dunno if UF insiders have gotten Intel on what's going on here... Always an outside shot at family stuff that leads to these, even in the modern climate of transferring for playing time.


ETA: just saw corresponding thread on SECr... Have been tied up on work shite... Apologies for the repeat but question stands to UF peeps...

Apparently he got into trouble. Comparing him to Fields is a bit of a stretch though. Jones future was probably at WR here. Fields was an actual loss for you guys.

One got in trouble,if reports are to be believed. The other, well, he was an Underwear Olympics/Camp/ESPN creation, that was never what his rating said he was. Neither was because of coaching.

Fields is a backup tight end, at best

You say that now, a year ago when he was on your team, he was the next Cam Newton and would take Fromm’s job by the end of the season.

So Florida fans made up a story about this kid getting in serious trouble to cover for the fact that their fourth highest rated recruit bailed before even making it to his first fall camp? All of this after their coach ran his mouth and gloated over Fields transferring?

Shocking.

To fake a punt? I mean yeah if you call that giving him a shot. I don’t think that’s what Kirby meant by a competition when he was recruiting him though. Oh well.

We don’t know the story, how are we making anything up? We just know it wasn’t because of the depth chart. Also Jalon Jones was going to be a WR here, Fields leaving actually affected y’all. So laugh if you want I guess. Won’t help you in Jacksonville.

Won’t help the Dawgs in J-Ville? You’re kidding yourself if you are even entertaining the thought of beating Georgia this year. Franks is trash, your coach is a moron, and you have zero depth. What’s your formula for success coach?

You don't really believe that was Field's only shot do you? You realize college athletes practice everyday for the opportunity to make it on the field...right?

Of course I think he's better than a backup tight end. Unfortunately for him, he just wasn't better than the QB in front of him.

Seriiously? Fields had more passing attempts and probably played more than any of UF's backup QBs.
Yes, more than Trask.
Yes, more than Emory Jones.

Maybe you should check out facts before talking?

As for Kirby saying he gave Fields a shot? He did. Fromm beat him out.

Oh well.

I can’t believe there is someone on earth actually stupid enough to believe this but alas, here you are. Georgia fan calling someone else’s coach a moron is rich. You’re coach just wants to eat. He’s the dumbass.

Oh look! We have a historian on our hands. Why don’t we go back all the way then?

52-43-2

Or how about we go Kirby vs Mullen?

Jacksonville will be another bloodbath

You can try to speak it into existence if you’d like. Fact is we are actually bringing enough corners this time and our coach is better than your coach. Watch and see mutt.
