    They shuffled some positions on the line as well. I'm still scratching my head wondering what they were thinking by starting Waites at RT in the opener.

    Seven if vegas has the odds right. They are right way more often than wrong. Im with you though. 7 solid and maybe a few more. Lots of dominos fall for all teams involved.

    Im always skeptical of anyone looking for a job that isnt currently employed. Why you dont have a job bro?

    Ive known waites cant move his feet for three years now but our staff didnt know? And ol boy that moved from tackle to gaurd? Surprise surprise. Speed rush him outside and give him a shove, his feet tangle up everytime. Who knows what these professionals are thinking sometimes. Maybe they just look at me like im an idiot and think their superior coaches skills will magically make dudes feet turn into Fred Astaire . They are smarter than me when it comes to sports. Arent they?

    I blame our edge rushers for this. The coaches were biased for Waites, and the edge rushers did not expose his weaknesses in the fall. The recruiting at edge has been well below the Gator standard for many years.

    I’ve left my last 2 jobs before finding another one. I honestly don’t know how anyone can have the time to look while currently employed and still be engaged enough to do it well.

    Stepsons an engineer and looking for a job while still working. That's my advice to him. Don't be unemployed and look for a job. Only losers don't have a job. Unless of course you're loaded, then carry on

    I saw the games. I didn't see practices. He got yanked quickly after the opening game debacle. I think the coaches could only see his potential. I personally never saw it.

    Just look at what's going in at the University of Michigan right now... that's all on him. I'm happy with the board of Governors decision.

    What I have learned is that looking for a job is like having another full time job.

    I guess it would definitely depend on the line of work.

    Actually, I do not know. Did he open up the P box and now they can't put the toothpaste back in the tube?

    I'd have to dig far deeper than I have to find that out for sure, but I'll bet there will be more crazy stuff is coming out of that closet.
