He's not really in a position to be cute right now.
Say what you will about Flood, he always manages to handle himself appropriately in front of the mic.

He's rattled. Just by not saying what he usually does shows his full concentration is not on the game. Although he looks older, he was 39 when he got the job he was not qualified for. His life experience in hs teaching and lower level football didn't qualify him to be the fball ceo. He has tried, but truthfully don't think he has the skillset for a B10 program in ny area.
At this point, plead with Fridge to take the reins the rest of the season and take a deep breath and see options. Would love to see how fridge handled the qb's.

So, now you know what qualifies a person for a job and what doesn't? So hs coaches can't make the transition to college ? Coach flood has been on national championship teams and has been a huge part of our staff for a long time now - his resume is solid.
Fridge to take the reins for the rest of the season?? How out of touch are you with reality? You want a guy who doesn't even want to coach anymore to come out of retirement to replace our head coach because of some off the field issues - the only one involving him being a stupid email sent to a professor.. Get real
Yes I actually do have some idea as to what qualifications are needed for someone to be a hc/ceo of a D1 team. Flood-other than on the job training-didn't have those. Doesn't mean he couldn't learn them, but the issue was whether he was qualified when hired and the answer is not really. He wasn't head man on a Delaware championship team. He didn't have hc experience. And no being a hs coach doesnt qualify one to be a hc next in the B10. See the ND experiment as an example. Would seem your understanding of the qualifications are to be a hs coach or a lower division assistant and move to hc. I wholeheartedly disagree. Flood was a position coach. This isn't a big time coordinator at a power 5 school getting the nod. Surprised to see anyone argue he was qualified at time of hire.
As for Fridge, your assertions assume a whole lot which seem off base. He didn't want the grind of being an assistant and the travel. He has said he was not done being a hc when he was last let go so he may still have some desire. If he felt the kids he cared about needed him it is not unreasonable to see him step in for the remainder. It's out of touch to think he wouldn't, when he has been back on occasion to help and expressed caring for the kids. He may relish the chance to steady the program. We don't know.

In support of ru-baby's ideas you have the fact that Flood was here for a long time as a position coach and then co-OC in charge of the run game and no one tried to poach him.. not as a position coach, not as OC, not as head coach.
Do you know this for a fact? Maybe he was approached, and he is so rooted to the area, he passed. But how do any of us know? So to say it is a "fact" is a real long stretch.
