I'd stick with the guys we got but when Brissett was transferring from UF that's who Golden should of gotten. He wanted to come here and golden was still butt hurt from when he picked UF out of High School. He would of had 2 years and when he was done it would of been a rs jr in Olsen and a rs sophmore in Kaaya.
Except that you're assuming he was as promising as when he was a HS senior. There was actually film on him at the D1 level which gives you a lot more data to use to decide. Your assumption that Golden didn't take his transfer because he was "butthurt" is presumptuous. Was Kyle Wright worth 1/10th of his HS SR value after 2 years at UM? Would every school in America snapped him up the way they wanted to when he was in HS? No. The idea that the staff is so emotional that they would ****** the ability of the team to win is idiotic, and really just a reflection of the fan base making stupid assumptions.
He is making a whole lot of assumptions there. Was it even a possibility to transfer to Miami? Would FL release him at the time? Butt hurt? Jesus Christ, Golden may be a lot of things people don't like, but he is not some high school girl crying about the one that got away and then not taking his calls. This Brissett guy, is he the one who couldn't beat out Driskell?
Miami feels so good about quarterback that it quietly rejected recent overtures from the Gators' 2012 opening day starter. West Palm Beach Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said UM was the "top choice" of Jacoby Brissett, who is transferring from UF, but the Hurricanes informed him "they don't have room for him" because they have five quarterbacks on scholarship and a sixth (Kevin Olsen) arriving this summer. Brissett, rated the third-best duel purpose QB and 75th player overall in the 2011 class, completed 23 of 35 passes for 249 yards in 2012. He started the season opener against Bowling Green but was replaced after a quarter, replaced an injured Jeff Driskel and helped rally UF to avoid an upset loss against Louisiana-Lafayette, then started against Jacksonville State and threw for just 154 yards. He then lost the job to Driskel, decided to transfer, and likely will pick between North Carolina State and West Virginia, Daniels said.

Thanks. Where in there does it say Golden is butt hurt or that FL would release him to Miami?
