Enjoy your Father's Day Coach., you have earned it.

I don't think that there is a single person on this board who doesn't think that KF is an extremely high quality individual and a role model on many levels.

Great article and Kyle is the definition of a good man.

Well put. There is no doubt that Kyle is a high caliber individual that wants nothing but the best for his players and the Rutgers program. Outside of obviously wanting Rutgers to succeed on the football field I especially want it because of the incredible person Kyle Flood is.

bump.

Flood sounds like a great family man and deserves to success at Rutgers. I have been critical of his recruiting the last 2 years but this year the recruiting appears to be improved. I really hope he can beat the top 4 teams in the East division occasionally and move Rutgers upwards. I don't know why the NJ KIDS DON't want to play in front of their family and friends.

When it comes time for the history to be written, Kyle Flood will be the Frank Burns of the B1G era.

 

[Local Shill]

Obviously a really good guy that we'd all like to see be the coach for a long time.
I hope it works out.

He's a good man, but he would be a great man if he could close on some 4-star recruits. :)

I'm going jump semantics with you a bit. He IS a great man and a good coach. If he can land some 4* recruits we'll be a very good recruiter too.

That's certainly fair.

Man I hope Kyle is here for a long time, and that would mean he's getting it done. Truly,in this day and age, he is a breath of fresh air, and someone I'd want my kids to play for.

Coach Flood has my support 100%

That would be great, 4Real. I would take it.

 

[RU1977]

100% behind our coach..... Makes me feel prouder to be an Alumni......

 

[koleszar]

Coach Flood is an upstanding citizen and someone people should aspire to be. He has been taught the core values that everyone should strive for. Work hard and you can achieve anything you set your mind to. I just don't think those values are what kids in this instant gratification world want to hear. They want the sales pitch, come here and you will be an instant star. That's why I root for this team we may not win a lot or ever be like Ohio St.. But we have dam good kids in this program who have been taught the right values.

A great man and good coach. Why would you not want your son to play football under his influence?

Thank you so much for posting this. Great article.

Great man. I hope he is coach for a long time. His character will be a great asset for the players and Rutgers......he has heart and humility, which is the essence of true leadership.

Good stuff.

 

[Bagarocks]

Kyle Flood is the epitome of a Family man. Which carries over to his coaching repritour.
Honor, respect, integrity all come to mind!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Nice.. thanks for sharing.

This is the kind of coverage that every big program gets and Rutgers just hasn't gotten much of. That this story doesn't get picked up by local TV media.. because of where we are.. that is a shame.

This kind of profile piece on Flood is something that should be common knowledge for every recruit and recruit's family in this state.

A Rutgers recruit will exist in a family-friendly atmosphere. Even those from far away will be exposed to the family atmosphere.

 

[KnightHound]

Bump because it's awesome! Definitely a must read.

 

[RU_Coming_Along]

My mother is very close to a former recruit's family, and I know them also. He didn't get a commitable offer, and went to a very good 1-aa school. They are a really nice, upstanding family. They absolutely loved everything about Coach Flood, and what he stands for. He was far and away their first choice for who they wanted to play for.

It seems like you couldn't have a better example for your team, and a better man to play for.

I hope he leads the team for many years to come.

You get the feeling that 18-25 years from now there will be a number of 2nd generation recruits coming to Rutgers - with the first or middle name of "Kyle" - in honor of a man who made a difference in their father's life..
The young men on the RU Football team are learning lessons & principles that will serve them well - on & off the field.

Oh - and if anybody feels that the lines between professional sports and college sports have blurred beyond recognition - this is one place where there is & should be a justifiable stark contrast - in the professional ranks it may be true that winning is everything - but in college, while the goal is to win - it is not the only goal and it is not the only thing that counts.

 

[vascosg]

My hope is that Flood and his staff become the highest paid coaches in the B1G.

 

[yellowlot]

really nice piece...be such a great story if he goes on to be a legendary coach and win a an NC for RU.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Great article, really a must read for everyone who post on this site.

 

[REDRICH65]

I am proud to root for this great man and Rutgers football ! As the school that invented the game, we are doing it the right way.

 

[MADHAT1]

A man like Flood is the type of person that deserves to have everyone rooting that they be successful in their chosen field and in life.
