No?? Didn't you say above that he was a good and honest man?? You are the President/CEO of his fan club if you still believe that.
A good honest guy that verbally attacked my wife to the point that GS had to come running in and berate him in front of 1/2 the Hale Center.
What a swell guy.
You obviously were never recruited as an athlete. Of course coaches play games with recruits they are going to keep the interest of every athlete they are recruiting. All the athletes that we are recruiting know we only have a certain amount of scholarships. With that being said when I was being recruited for baseball and I was meeting with coaches I had a handful of coaches telling me what they thought about my game and how I would fit into the team and how they see me helping the team down the road. I also had coaches playing games showing interest then backing off then not hearing from them, then they would tell me how great I was and then I wouldn't hear from them for another two to three weeks. As an athlete I always liked it when the coaches were up front with me and told me that they wanted me to be a part of the program but they weren't going to wait around for my decision. That is what I believe this staff will be doing being up front and honest telling the kids that we are recruiting the plan for them how they fit but make it known that they wont be playing any games with them.
You might want to take a look at the offer lists of the most kids Flood recruited, in his 3 classes, when he had plenty of time to recruit. We're talking years.
This guy has been on the job not even 2 months, coming off a 4-8 season, and you're expecting miracles? Lol!!!
Can we end the "Flood is a nice guy" bullshit for once and for all? Yes, sure, I'm sure he had his good days, just like the rest of us, but there's more than enough evidence to the contrary and, quite honestly, who the f* gives a shit?
Have to say I am leaning this way. Pair this with how this generation of selfie enthusiasts are all told they are special and expect to be treated as such and you can expect to see a lot of such comments.
In the past we used to get this from high school coaches who wanted their 2nd tier players to get Rutgers schollies while they wanted their best to go to "name" programs. Now with all the social media and the old media acting like social media we can expect to hear from a lot of recruits we have "dissed". And if they every represent a school playing against us, expect at least of coverage of them in the S-L.
I posted on the RT...
So, I've been asked by numerous people why I had such a STRONG dislike for Flood. I said whenever he got fired, I'd tell the story. I was going to let it go, but I've had requests on the board and PM's about it. I'll keep it quick for everyone.
So, my wife worked in the AD on the academic side several years ago. When working with the students one day, a certain unnamed OL skipped the session. That was a big no-no under GS. She wasn't going to say anything, but a GA came in and sat in the class. She had to report it.
Flood caught wind and chased her down. He started yelling at her and called her the b-word. A GA ran to get GS. He had to get involved and made Flood apologize to her. I disliked the man from that day on. This is going back to when he was just the OL coach.
Blasphemy! So, you're saying Flood and the way he viewed academics have been questionable way back then when he was only an OL coach? Take it back!!! This was a man of ultra high integrity!!!
You should read the whole thread. The Floodies are out in force. And as I said above I didn't start this thread either
It's a shame the new staff didn't treat this jackass like the old staff. Maybe the old staff knew he had no morals.
Bingo, kid has abig mouth and bigger ego, one thing to come in commit/decommit, but he trashed coaches in the brief time he was here then bolts....someone needs to put a filter on him.
This specific situation seems like piling on. We are criticizing Flood for slow playing someone who has no FBS offers until the last week. He did a lot wrong but this doesn't seem like one of them. If he had given him an offer way back when, we would have had a 3 page thread on how clueless he was for doing that. He is gone. Let's move on.
