After last week I think we'd be very lucky to run the table. Jax and Tenn are no gimmes especially the way Garrand and Young are playing for their team. If we had trouble beating a 2-9 Lions that really had nothing left to play for, I am just too afraid to think how we will play against Tenn and Jax.

Boy if that's not the kiss of death I don't know what is.

Now is this like the "vote of confidence" he gave Dave Wannestead by extending his contract the year before he fired him? Or is it the type of "vote of confidence" Huizenga offered to Rick Spielman before letting the coach fire him?

Or maybe its the "vote of confidence" that Saban himself gave to Mike Mularkey as OC?

Why does it just seem like the term "vote of confidence" in the NFL is a code phrase for "get ready for a coaching change"?

Didn't Huizenga say something like that right before he sold off the Marlins?
