To say there is pressure on new Gator head coach Dan Mullen to solve the decade-long quarterback issue at the University of Florida would be an understatement. After all, in Mullen’s first tenure in Gainesville as offensive coordinator from 2005-2008, he was winning SEC and national championships with quarterbacks Chris Leak and Tim Tebow.
In fact, Leak and Tebow are just two of a long line of terrific college quarterbacks to wear the orange and blue.
From Steve Spurrier to Kerwin Bell, Shane Matthews to Danny Wuerffel, Rex Grossman up to Leak and Tebow, finding terrific quarterback play at the University of Florida was not a challenge, but a standard.
