Is the staff coaching for their jobs next week?

[RCTrooper]

Without a win at PSU, it is hard to see this team having a .500 record. Without a signature in in Cult Valley, RU would most likely be looking at an at best 5-7 record. Flood and Company proved many wrong last year with several close wins to get to 8-5 but would a 5-7 record against the off-field backdrop lead to Flood's ouster?

no. he is safe this year as long has no off the field scandals get him

 

[kjb32812]

Which coaching staff?

 

[kjb32812]

no. he is safe this year as long has no off the field scandals get him

And why is that?

 

[ArminRU]

no. he is safe this year as long has no off the field scandals get him

If Flood doesn't win 6 games, very good chance he's gone.

this has got to be one of the most ridiculous posts i have ever read on this board. In a rebuilding year with a new QB Oline and FB... and you are expecting an improvement in the record? Freaking laughable that someone would actually think this. Especially after losing 4 of our top DB's that were expected to be in the two deep since Spring.

On a 'micro' level? No.

On a 'mezzo' and 'macro' level? Absolutely. In light of the past few weeks and with the specter of 2013 not fully shaken off, i dont think our staff survives a terrible year this year. A loss next week adds about 2 tons of grease to the skid. A win and many of us would forget about the WSU game in a heartbeat; a loss and it not only gets magnified, but it will still pale in comparison to the scrutiny and indignity that will follow yet another Rutgers loss to Penn State...and right now it doesn't look good for us.

Get to 7 wins or they are gone imo. If we are short of 7 i dont think flood survives bowl season

spot on. If RU goes 5-7 I think its 50/50 he is retained given the off field nonsense, it would then depend on how much a guy like Greg Brown wants this change and how much line does he have for Julie to spend. Now beating Penn State could end talk like this thread.

How quickly we forget we dont have the MONEY to replace Flood

 

[RUSK97]

Nothing changed. We're still broke.

7 wins is a pipe dream.

Flood gives us the best ROI in CFB outside Nat. Champ. winners like Urban and Saban. You can barely get a coordinator in the SEC for what we pay our head coach. Factor in an inept and spineless administration, AD and PR department and tell me what quality proven coach you are going to get here for less than 3M per year for 5 years fully guaranteed?

Here's what I don't understand. The money is coming so why don't they spend the money and then get the results?

Politics, the Star Ledger, NJ self loathing, aspineless short-sighted administration ..... should I go on? I grew up in a state in the south where the major state university was encouraged to do the things that would cost people jobs at RU. It's a weird state. No one in NJ understands that major research universities are one of the greatest drivers of wealth in any state and that the AD is the marketing arm of the university.

 

[LevaosLectures]

I'd go so far as to say we now have zero chance at 7 wins.

Best we can do OOC is 3-1.

If you think we're wining 4 big ten games you're off your rocker.

If we go 6-6 by beating Maryland, Indiana, and one huge upset I'd take that in a second.

By far NJ is a bass awkward state that thinks it has it schtick together. But the way it treats its flagship university is so telling.

 

[motorb54]

Someone thinks beating Penn State would be a huge upset?
Both these teams have huge weaknesses
I expect another low scoring game that could go either way

 

[shields]

And next year we have easier schedule. IF Hamilton does not play this year that should be given consideration also. But can we wait to see how season goes first?

 

[NotInRHouse]

Just hope that email has some smoking gun "change the grade" language so we can make a move with the backing of the entire university and put the last of the TP disaster hires out to pasture.
