Dunleavy: Big donor supports Flood
- Thread starter brodo
- Start date
Seen that. Flood is under fire for stuff that would barely generate a bead of sweat at other programs. Not saying there shouldn't be a level integrity that needs to be maintained, but c'Mon ... We really have a media mob setting up camp cause an email caused a part-timer to spontaneously combust?
I don't disagree with Jeff and glad to see another person who gets media attention come out and support Flood. However, how much $ a person donates to Rutgers should not make them the decision maker on matters of who should or should not be the coach. Every right to their opinion (which I completely agree with) and of course not naive to think it doesn't have influence.
That's not just a statement of support...its a glowing testament to Flood.
Although the big money should not make him so important, it does and that is not going to change. Big money is what is driving the football bus and it is all over the place.
I really liked that the color announcer Al Groh was so effusive about Flood during the game. ESPN did not take the opportunity to dump on Rutgers which was great.

Anyone who wants a real coach here whenever Flood leaves should support Flood now. No coach worth his weight is going to sign up for the crap that Flood has to deal with from some fans and the media. It's so counterproductive.
Dunleavy's colleague Edelson is as usual a wet blanket of pessimism.

"But this was such an unsettling day on a number of levels, with so many things still not adding up."
"The second quarter brought a report by NJ Advance Media that the assault against a group that included one Rutgers student was caught on video. And if that is indeed the case, you need only look at the fallout when the video of former men's basketball Mike Rice abusing his players surfaced in 2013 to understand the potential fallout."
REALLY? Was Kyle Flood involved in the assault?
"There were few answers forthcoming, as Flood spoke publicly for the first time since the arrests were announced two days earlier.
When asked about the timeline of the the police investigation and the program's knowledge of what was happening, Flood said, ``I'm not at liberty to discuss it. It's an ongoing investigation.'' "
REALLY--so Flood should talk about a police investigation now?

Like many other fans and alums I feel bad for coach Flood and his current players...unless he's a better actor than I suspect he truly was caught off guard with the level of the offenses...the situation speaks for itself...if Holy Cross alum ( Kevin Manahan ) didn't direct his minions the way he does most of this would be 2nd hand news already ... Thank You Kevin "you suck"
One can see Kyle Flood cares very much about these players entrusted to his care...he definitely is emotionally wounded and it shows in his responses sometimes ... He has remained firm and strong and I respect him more because of that...as for the email incident ?... It is small potatoes in comparison to what has and will occur not only at Rutgers but around the NCAA system in the future...The home invasions was a bad thing ( not on Flood)...the alleged attacks on video are always two sided and we shall see in court ( not on Flood ) ... just walk down Easton Ave any day and accidently bump into someone the wrong way and you may be in brawl ... 1) Robert Barchi is weak and has no business as the President leading RU...Barchi is the head puppet master brought in for the merger of the Medical School and ONLY for that purpose... another political shill....2) Barchi ( though he played some college sports ?) is not pro college sports at the level we are now at in the ( B1G ) ... 3) Julie Hermann ( aloof and distant it seems ) needs to be more friendly on game day especially as she's riding around...I know yesterday was tough on the A.D. but she has to greet and meet the common fans...Julie Hermann rode by the athletes Glen around 11 am and hardly looked at anyone waiting for the band...I think she dwells more on the Big $$$ donors than the people that sit in the "cheap" seats...I actually think Julie could be good for RU but she's laying low...come on girl your gonna need them cheap seaters...If Flood is "fired " it will set us back much further than many realize...you will kill this team's players and staff ...if you think recruiting can be hurt by not allowing the media into the players and coaches locker rooms after games just wait ...you will need to pony mucho B!G $$$$ to get that type of coach and Rutgers still isn't ready to do that...people in the stands were in full support yesterday and that was gratifying and great to see...If Flood get's fired in the future let it be because we don't win more than we lose ...Don't make him the scapegoat...reprimand him...suspend him but don't let him go out for something which doesn't warrant termination... Here-say, inuendo , rumor etc. is what NJ.Com prides themselves on ...Rutgers won't have to worry about me renewing for 2016 and beyond if they Rutgers Screw Flood...37 years as a season ticket holder I'll save quite a bit of $$$, time and angst...Good Luck against WSU Rutgers...

And so what if he did and was the guy?...It happens at EVERY school playing D-1 sports ...EVERY school ...the reason it came out was because in New Jersey media and especially at Rutgers we have an group of scum who were probably like this since their childhood... corrupt politicians (both republicans and democrats)...people affiliated at Rutgers who harbor a personal vendetta and go out of their way to not report actual facts but annomynous propaganda...sensationalism sells great copy in this day and age...guys like Manahan, Politi , Sergeant ,Duggan, Heyboer , Amaral, Dunleavy etc. all are part and parcel to this type of reporting...clicks sell on the internet $$$ .... Kevin Manahan how is the situation up at West Point going ? ...sounds like a riot and brawl at a military academy would be a really B1G story for you dweebs...not on a city street mind you on the West Point grounds...Fire the coach boys..
The media has done a superb hatchet job of influencing many things in the world ...wars, world events in foreign countries, stock market ups and downs , political races ( Trump is causing them some major concerns ) watch how they attempt to manipulate the polls over the next few months, the way we actually think in our daily lives...it is fun to watch just how stupid people in this day and age are...
I'm exhausted how these "reporters" (and I use that term very loosely) decide they can report in one article and then express commentary in the next --- it's so misleading

So true. There are very few reporters in the major media outlets. The public in general can be very ignorant and easily manipulated.
I posted Towers' tweet a couple days ago in that support Flood thread. Looks like one of them dug deeper and got further comments.
It's good to have a new donor come out in support of Flood like that. It's also another reason I don't believe those insinuations that JH is trying to sabotage Flood. Only performance related issues or influences out of her control is how I see Flood ever leaving. This is a new donor brought in by JH and her team, you'd think they'd be on the same page as opposed to an already existing donor where it's harder to gauge how a relationship may be between said donor and JH.
Who knows, while JH is unable to comment due to the investigation, maybe she encouraged the donor to publicly come out with strong support of Flood. So this along with bumping up of Flood's salary/buyout and salary pool for staff doesn't smell of any sort of sabotage going. To me the relationship between coach/AD seems just like any other or better.
