Ash absolutely buries Flood regime

[BlockR]

I was calling for Flood to be gone after the disappointing end to the 2012 season.
All that talent and total fiasco by Flood and staff.

Was shouted down by many on this board on that. And after countless Recruiting Classes absent of NJ talent.

You mean all the Flood supporters who carried on with the mantra"'we dont need Jersey kids to come to Rutgers for recruiting to win" ,those posters here who supported that approach and Flood?
How did that work out for Flood and Hermann? lol

W/L's will not tell the story next year. How the team competes will. Will not miss the previous coach getting his rocks off during the post game handshake with real coaches after he got his ass kicked by them.

I also don't see how Coach Ash is "burying" Flood publicly and also don't get why some people are getting so bent out of shape over what Coach Ash said.

People are a bunch of pussies nowadays.

100%. No one can tell me that every player and coach played and coached 100% all of the time. If we did, we would have been more competitive. Period.

Let Ash demand complete effort at all times. That is the minimum requirement.

 

[BearVsShark]

Flood was complete trash, and I have no problem with Ash calling his regime that. It's still mind boggling that people still supported Flood.

Good on Ash for saying this. We need as much distance from the Coach Flood RU Dumpster Fire as possible.

Ash said what he said...so what. If the shoe fits... All you had to do was watch the games and in the blowout losses, it was as if the opponents were able to do what they want because there was little or no opposition. If you watched the first 5 minutes of the Rutgers-Northwestern fiasco this weekend, then you understand what Ash is talking about.

 

[SheaWasBetter]

lol when he turns this program around you're still gonna find something to complain about....the "prior regime" was a disaster and many of us realized this as far back as Oct 2013...most of the rest have realized it since...all Ash is doing is speaking the TRUTH and trying to LIGHT A FIRE under the belly of the current roster but you obviously don't understand that and feel the need to call him out because, well, we know how you truly feel about Coach Ash, right?

Oh.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Oy.

 

[CranfordKnight]

Setting aside the fact that calling out someone for a bad take 3 years ago is kind of a douche move, the thing that stands out for me is is the "not properly trained" quote. I've been on this for a couple of years now. The naivete of Ash, thinking that the solution to all the teams problems was bringing over the OSU strength and conditioning coach is mind-boggling. I still recall how giddy some were about how ripped everyone looked. Al posting cringeworthy pics of shirtless players.

 

[sherepower]

This didn’t age well lol

 

[ScottRU93]

I’d take Flood back at this point. Lol

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

They both suck

Yup. We were dumb. Hydration, smoothies, etc. Pseudo science for dumb jocks.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Flood would out coach Ash blindfolded and drunk.

 

[ashokan]

Flood killed the Humpty of recruiting that took Schiano 10 years to build.
The kid from Iowa was never able to put back together.
That is all

 

[RUaMoose]

Oh the irony. UM's QB name is Shea on the day Ash will equal Terry Shea's 0.200 winning percentage

 

[nick614]

Ash is a good coach, just sometimes that doesn't translate into being a good head coach.

 

[tomatocan]

The question isn't whether the team quit or not because it is obvious in the blow out losses that they did. The question is whether or not Ash should have said it out in public. Behind closed doors in a team meeting where he points it out and tells the team it will never happen again is one thing. That tells the team how he is going to do things and what he expects. That's fine. I am not sure if it accomplishes the same thing by going public. All it seems to accomplish initially to me anyway is to bash either or both the players and Flood. I could be wrong but if he is trying to motivate the team it seems this way is not the best way to do it.

What’s wrong with going public? Everyone in college football knows it. It’s not as if the players will have a closed door meeting and find the heart and passion to win games and prove the naysayers wrong.
