crimsonaudio · Sep 9, 2018

Following the loss to Kentucky — and presumably in the locker room, Lemons tweeted out the below message with his intent to transfer. We have taken screen shots.

"Learned a lot from the previous coaches that were here"

Ouch.

There's a pun here somewhere.

Wow!!

That’s sad. It is what is is though.

I had a Bama friend of mine text me last night after this game "Mullen is bringing Miss St to Gainesville." LOL! In all seriousness, it's Mullen's first season, he doesn't have the type QB to properly run his system behind center. Trust me, they'll get a lot better and within two years the Gators will be right in the mix for the East.

He's doing the team a favor.

I guess he had a sour taste in his mouth.

When life gives you Lemons...

Wasn't that the problem? He wasn't running at all!

There's a "wanhhhh" in there somewhere

Here's Bazza's opportunity to say, "never heard of her"

I hate to say it but I think Jim McElwain made what was already a bad situation worse while he was in Gainesville and Mullen is now having to clean up the mess.

Bazza · Sep 9, 2018

I feel for the kid but not good to tweet out something like that in the "heat of the moment". You don't do that to your team. Very disrespectful also to the entire program.

That said, not sure how to interpret what he posted this morning....sounds like he may stay (?)

We're deep in his position group so will be fine if he leaves.

I read that as finishing the semester

Wonder what this RB would have done had they lost to Vandy.

FWIW, it wasn't the loss to Kentucky that triggered his decision - it was because he was only used twice in the game.

Both times returning a kickoff.

Didn't see any time in the backfield.

I'm sure he saw the writing on the wall that he was too far down on the depth chart for the amount of playing time he desired/expected.

Bad timing on sending that tweet out - but I still wish the kid luck going forward wherever he ends up.

I agree with this. I know most Tidefans are fond of McElwain from his time in Tuscaloosa, but it appears he may not be HC material. He might need to go back out west and find a smaller program needing an experienced HC. Coach Mullen will need another year or two to get UF back on track in the SEC East.

This...he's probably realized he will never start or make the NFL. Practice fodder running back is a tough way to get your college education.
