I think it’s funny how everyone comments that this is a Gator thing. Like every college team uses every QB they have. Hell he could have gone to any number of colleges and ended up being the back up just like the majority of college QB. Miami has 5 QB on their roster. That means there will be 4 in the same predicament as Brissett was at Florida. The only difference with Brissett is that he has enough confidence in his abilities to transfer and try to earn the starting job at another school while most backups stay where they’re at and sit on the side lines.

“Gators also let Cam Newton go”

Um, there is a wee bit more to that story…

Given Meyer’s tendencies to cover up for problem children, the fact that Cam was shown the door says everything that you need to know.

Remember boys and girls, the Gators also let Cam Newton go. Brissett can be a tremendous talent for the right system. Whole lot of knee jerk comments being made on this site.

As a Canes fan you had your chance Golden wanted you badly. Wish him Luck but Miami was the better choice and because of QB play Miami will beat the Gators next year their QB is straight garbage.

Still love how coaches can come and go at a whim while making huge dollars. Meanwhile, the talent, the kids can’t move without losing a year and they still don’t get paid besides maybe a scholarship. But let’s face it, you are training, lifting and studying the playbook so much it is near impossible to really “go to school..” but hey, that’s ok, as long as the kids keep making the universities, boosters, and coaches millions upon millions.

The Dwyer staff is littered with Gator zombies… certainly they had some influence on his decision. Now this kid has to start all over… new system, new campus, new teammates… and he will always have to live with his failure at UF. Shame on those coaches for not being a better mentor to him.

*sigh* It’s a shame. Good talent, definitely a BCS caliber QB, just bad timing.

Last year when we were recruiting him I think we had 2 scholarship QBs. Now we’re up at 5 with a highly rated one (Kevin Olsen) coming in.

Brissett would at least be the 3rd best QB on the roster, but it would be kinda messed up to push out guys who signed when Brissett chose Florida.

It’s really a shame his HS coach didn’t have his best interests in mind.

If he can’t beat out what Florida has for a QB, he had better try a FCS school

FCS get ready. You know you suck if you can’t beat out Jeff Driskell or John Brantley.

I doubt Clemson has any room for him either.

ND needs a QB desperately.

USF could sure use a quarterback. He would probably play as soon he was eligible.

Maryland maybe? You can’t possibly be in a good spot at QB if you have to start a Linebacker in an actual game.

Golden recruited him hard and Brissett chose to follow his Dwyer boys and listen to the king of Anti-UM recruiting in Jack Daniels and now he wants to come crawling back?

No thank you. Good luck to you wherever you chose to finish your career.
