I here you but its not about that. Protocol is that a school will usually send a letter to the NCAA notifying them of possible infractions. If there they are not ultimately considered a violation by the NCAA, what difference does it make? If they are, what athletic department would be allowed to scrub reports that led to the violations? There must at minimum be in the report the information that led to and substantiates the NCAA penalties. Once those OPRA letters go out and what happened is public information, It would be considered an attempt to cover-up damaging or embarrassing information to the university - they would be committing career suicide ... heads would roll.
I don't believe any of the reported rumors. But I'm curious. What agenda would would be advanced by stating rumors of Flood staying or going?
Well sure. But I think Bac had some other agenda in mind. Just can't imagine what.Simple:
---------
The number of posts a person has is probably not a great indicator of the persons connections....... We probably have a number of quiet, but connected posters around.
Today might be a situation here similar to a couple of years ago, when we won that late season S Fla game....just like this year we had fans calling for Floods head, some hoping to lose that game, but we did not
So, we had two things happen then, we had the coach do just enough to remain, plus the fact that we could not raise enough money if we wanted to make a big hire anyway.... It is pretty well known we looked around that year.
Today's situation might be no different..... Julie and/or Barchi knows the dollars and cents of this, and this time we have the president even less likely to want to change, and spend, it seems....And Flood might limp to the finish with a two game winning streak..... The coaching drama winds up with the same result.
The connected poster first reports that a change is coming, but then the late season wins coupled with financial reality causes a sudden reversal
That's the elephant in the room. The commitment is to break even, not produce a good product.
When it comes to someone claiming they know if Flood's staying or going, take this bit of advice:
I have no idea what will happen over the next 2 weeks. It would not surprise me one bit if the OP is dead on with this. It would be extremely disappointing though.
I know regardless of the coaching decision I will be reducing tickets next year. I am down from 5 tickets to 4 based on a lack of interest by previous ticket holders. Another ticket is likely gone if Flood is back, and a third is up in the air. There is a good chance I ultimately reduce to 2 tickets, which adversely effects our tailgating efforts, which in turn harms the overall enjoyment of game days. Two more years of this has me seriously questioning whether it's worth a 2 hour trip each way to watch this product.

If stupid fludd survives, he should write a book about how to be completely and utterly inept ad and still cash a check....
Nothing will surprise me...well, actually firing the joke of coach who should be selling women's shoes would surprise me....w can't do any worse...he was smart to sign a deal to make him cheap....

I thought someone already wrote that book: The Peter Principle. And there was a Broadway show: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
TP gave this clown the gift of a lifetime. The truly funniest thing about this whole saga ... I will guarantee you that Flood actually believes he is a good coach, good recruiter, does not try to get the grades of his player's changed or is a complete tool that repeats 1-0 every day of his life causing the fan base and his very own players to make fun of him.
Generations come and go..but a thirst for blood is constant . Look at isis and this thread . Who cares who coaches rutgiz..we will always lose and then we will die
so all those that stop going to the games and who give up on RU will by extension stop posting on this board since they will stop giving a crap? doubt it --their complaining needs a venue
Don't know if anybody else is feeling this way, but I'm getting a bit inured (numbed) to this. When TP was fired, I was pretty outraged as I thought he got a raw deal. Got excited over the possibility of a new coach during the last "hey, we're getting a new coach" cycle, and have to say I got excited again this time.
And now, with the "not gonna happen" "gonna happen" back and forth, I'm sort of starting to just not care. Not outraged, indifferent. I'm the same way with the Giants, my long time pro team. They win, they lose, it doesn't bother me or excite me that much.
It's just that the passion, the hope, is getting tempered. I used to live and breathe this stuff. A new coaching staff and I think I could get excited again, but if the BOT and Barchi don't care, and those who might make things happen don't care (enough), I've got other things and other teams to get excited about.

Yes, I will continue to post because after Flood is gone, I'll be back donating and going to games.
The only thing that would make sense to me is that the effort to raise money to dump this guy is not going well and thus the word is getting out to either contribute or live with the status quo.
His first year on the job we made the announcement we were going to the conference so I don't buy your response.
Remember we had a really good class that first year until his policy of no visits caused an avalanche of decommits
Wait, you mean Barchi himself is not reading the 3000 emails and interviewing witnesses?
You haven't been reading this board enough. She's a great AD who's hands are tied. It's all Flood and Barchi's fault. Any thoughts to the contrary mean you are a misogynist or a homophobe.
I agree 100%. I will be done. I gave Flood his chance. Tired of the small time thinking. I will buy my tickets on Stubhub for 2 or 3 games.
Exactly right. And in litigation drafts of opinions are not subject to discovery, protected by attorney client privilege and/or attorney work product, except for the rare instance where it is shown the opinion was used to commit a crime or fraud.
Fludd continuing to coach a P5 team is BOTH a crime and a fraud.
So, there's that...
it is simple..and it is not the incidents and it is not the record. The coaching SUCKS and his decisions regarding the QB play are horrible and RB rotation is a close 2nd. He is a bullcrapper saying "best chance to win". He doesn't even want to try to win leaving this guy in game after game.
The fact they didn't fire the guy after the academic scandal tells a lot about the administration. "Pathetic" is too kind of a word for the leadership our school is experiencing.
And they're getting the cart b4 the horse -- to increase donations they administration must show better decision making, because people will give more $$ when hope exists. But with RU it's just a cluster flub of an institution and why throw good money after bad.
If "stupid flood" survives maybe he isn't that stupid. He will have called their bluff and outsmarted Barchi, JH, and convinced enough money guys to keep him around.
sorry. can somebody remind me exactly what it will cost to get rid of Flood. ? wasn't it $1.5mil?
WORST CASE...keep the rest of the staff for a year and get rid of just the horse's a$$.
right? and if that was the case maybe I'll just continue to tailgate :) ... one is not required to purchase a ticket, get strapped to a seat with eyes duck taped open.. Leaving before the mess on the field may be the perfect ending to a great tailgate.
You could actually bring on Schiano, and keep the rest of the staff, since he is already familiar with most of the assistants anyways, having already worked with them. Rossi needs a mentor like Schiano, IMO.
