You're backing yourself into a tight logical corner.  Your insistence at every turn that there is no possible reason for Tebow to be practicing means that either UM is a complete homer moron or he knows what he's doing.  In order to keep your ego intact you'll likely settle on moron's luck if the Jags play well.

Or maybe he's a novice and loyal coach that made a mistake with one of his most popular players.

It happens.

Bill Walsh had to be talked into drafting Joe Montana in 1979 instead of his old college QB Steve Dils.

Jimmy Johnson spent the equivalent of the top overall pick in 1990 to bring his college QB Steve Walsh to the Cowboys the same year they drafted Aikman.

Steve Spurrier loaded up Washington with many of his former Gator players, including Wuerffel.  That didn't end so well.  Coaches like bringing in players with whom they are familiar and they have had success.
