Where would we finish in the SEC West?

Probably the same place as MSU. That's the point.

Aw man, I was expecting, "with Holtz, last."

We would finish last, but not because of Holtz. HD would be cheering wildly if we landed Muschamp as a coach. I doubt Muschamp being a dufus is the only reason Driskell is at Tech.

Muschamp= very good defensive coordinator, terrible head coach. Kinda like Randy Shannon for the Canes.

New Florida coach Jim McElwain told reporters on Saturday that Driskel has asked for, and been granted, a release from his scholarship.
"I'm not going to hold him hostage," McElwain said.
A change of scenery could be good for Driskel, who showed up in Gainesville as a highly touted five-star recruit. Driskel's career started out well enough as the Gators finished the 2012 with a 10-2 record in his first season as the starter. But things went downhill from there.
Injuries and poor play doomed Driskel the last two seasons, as he threw for 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He began the 2014 season as Florida's starter but lost the job to freshman Treon Harris following Florida's 42-13 home loss to Missouri.

We know all that. Thanks for re-posting the same story for the 15th time here on BB&B.

SicemDawgz got it right: "Muschamp= very good defensive coordinator, terrible head coach. Kinda like Randy Shannon for the Canes."

Unfortunately for Driskel, he got stuck with a DEFENSIVE guy as head coach at Florida, a guy that knew absolutely nothing about offense or developing QB's. So Driskel wanted out. And who can blame him? He's already thrown for more yards in 7 games at LA Tech than he did in any single year at U of Florida.

Go to youtube and watch Driskell at Florida, it is unbelievable how many of his passes were dropped.
