Classy tweet from Kyle Flood

Classy for sure. I don't want to be critical of the man, but let's pump the brakes on the "strong foundation" stuff. He put more than his fair share of cracks into it
Very nice of him. I wish him well, and I hope he finds something that makes him happy. He did his best, but he was in over his head. No reason to cast stones at the departed.
Classy as always. Even though it didn't work out for him, he always gave it his all and I respect the man. He'll always be a Scarlet Knight.
Give it a rest. He's gone. Be happy in that and let him have his say.
I wish him the best. This just wasn't a good fit for him.
Classy job by flood. While a poor head coach he was a valuable part of the staff for a long time. Think he would be great in an assistants role again on a P5 staff and hope he gets a look.
Also ., Is this just me or is 2012 big east championship talk a joke. I cringe every time I see him or someone else list this as some great accomplishment. We went to the 3rd place bowl game that year

Dislike button here. Show some class man
As Knight Shift said he was in over his head. Even Pernetti didn't look thrilled when he announced him as head coach. Many of us were hopeful he could learn and grow but he was too stubborn. In retrospect, you should never hire a guy who is not qualified just to save a recruiting class. Seems like a decent guy and hopefully he'll land with an FCS program.
Not many departing write a resume of accomplishments in their thank you sentiments, I think he is really surprised he was let go
Good luck kyle thank you for your efforts. Best of luck.
That is how you handle this situation. I wish him the best in his next role, whatever that is.
98% of that job happens outside of a TV broadcast. 98% of judging that job, the opposite.
We'll never find a more Loyal Son who didn't go to school here, but we move on. I wish he'd enjoyed a more measured approach to our displeasure with his results from us.
I'm pleased to see that so many who actively lobbied for his dismissal have come around quickly to thanking him and acknowledging his contributions as we anticipate his successor.
I don't know what is so classy about that to be honest, he just hyped himself up but we all know the truth behind those things.
I am not going to give credit for what you are suppose to do, you are not suppose to burn bridges on your way out.
Hopefully he can retire and count the millions he made for his terrible coaching or go teach math again or whatever.

Like it or not it is true. We were co-champs. Sorry that doesn't fit your narrative.
i wanted him gone badly and am very happy today.
BUT, the man is taking a high road and putting a closure with no ill will.
no need to knock him at this point.
good luck Kyle.

And this right here is also the reason why I never took part in ridiculing and piling on the guy for getting fired, and why I never booed him or called him names during the "Be a Hero" ad no matter how frustrated I was with his performance.. Ontop of all the selfless community work he organized, he did the best he could. He wasn't ALL bad, and he did give us a few cool moments over the years.
He's only 44... so he was at Rutgers for nearly half of his adult life. He loved RU and he loved those kids like they were his own. You better believe taking him away from that after so long has him torn to shreds. He could barely keep it together at the USF game in 2013 when the rumors were swirling... the guy is probably curled into a ball crying like a baby right now. I wish him the best of luck.

Just think, if he lost the USF game in 2013, he would be gone back then. The powers that be ensured that we won that game. Lousy USF team on a cold night in Piscataway.
Today, RU is truly 1-0.
Did he tweet that outside the Princeton library?
He can focus on editing essays.
Good riddance.

Thanks for keeping the 2012 class together coach.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Sometimes coaches work out, sometimes they don't. It is simply part of the profession. As ScarletKnightRider said, it would be hard to find someone who bled Scarlet more than he did and I'm sure today was a pretty difficult one for him. I really had hoped he would have been able to turn it all around and be successful.
I've been hard on Flood, but I'm tipping my hat to him on that final goodbye. Well said and classy.
That tweet IMO was self promotion, like tweeting your cover letter highlighting accomplishments
If you look at his objectively, I'd be shocked if he ever coaches again. Epic fail on all accounts and now the next coach has to clean up his mess....unlike the situation the village idiot came into
We will look back and realize how much fludd f'ed up. He's the Fred hill Jr. of football, but at least junior was known as a tremendous recruiter....flood never proved to be competent at anything....and knowingly broke rules....not genuine....the worst kind of stupid....
