D'haquille Williams is gone? What took Gus Malzahn so long?

Perhaps this is the issue festering under the surface in the locker room that has effected team cohesion. Which has been mentioned in previous postings. As Jesus’s brother states in James, Deuteronomy, Acts, and Leviticus; “…God is not respect of persons.” In other words: No one is special in God’s eyes, all are deserving of our respect and dignity.

At every turn, Malzahn did what a lot of coaches do, exhibiting an extraordinary amount of patience with a troubled talent, believing Williams was better off staying in the program. He wasn't. He was more distraction than weapon.

Maybe he was waiting until he fell out of BCS contention. :-)

Some coaches just seem to keep giving players chances, hoping they can turn things around with their behavior/attitude. Others cut bait far too quickly. Without knowing all of the inside details, I'll reserve judgment on the player and the coach. Hopefully he'll do well with a fresh start elsewhere.
