If it's so bad why is Flood even allowed to coach the game, just dismiss him right away and JH too if that's deemed necessary. It would beyond stupid for him to survive and her to be dismissed. Illinois fired both it's HC and AD in the same year. Rip off the band aid and get it over with.
I don't want to see Schiano again that would be more short term thinking and doing what feels good for some and lock you in again for longer term just like when Flood was hired. Worse case keep the staff on for the year, promote Norries Wilson as interim coach for next year and conduct the AD search. Then the new AD can hire a coach.
Regardless, I don't think it matters the same backstabbing entrenched interests will still be around along with the small time stubborn thinking so I don't see a new AD trying to affect change being that much more successful until they're gone. Spitballing on premium I see Chris Hill, as usual, being mentioned as a candidate. He himself had a whole issue going on with the swim team and swim coach at Utah. He didn't get fired although there was speculation. Same for Sean Frazier/Alvarez for the stuff that happened at Wisconsin. Pat Haden despite Sarkisian's alcohol issues didn't get fired and he actually hired the guy.
Oversight issues unless extremely bad don't always get you fired but of course this is RU where we'd actually have the possibility of keeping the biggest perpetrator of issues in Flood and get rid of the AD. I can understand if you got rid of both, although I prefer keeping Hermann unless she personally did something, but can't understand keeping him and getting rid of her.
