There is a police presence at practice today, and Julie Hermann is there. Wonder what this means, if anything.

Lots of twitter speculation that something was going to happen to Flood today, but he just spoke. And reiterated he will coach on Saturday.
 
It'd be nice if this thing could be put to rest..... Rather than give these drama pigeons bread crumbs to keep putting the program in a negative spotlight. What's the point of showing up to practice with police and then not do anything?
 
Hermann refused to speak to media again..thus fueling more speculation.

Strange...as she knew her appearance at practice and/or police presence around Hale Center would lead to inquiries from others.

Not sure what would be wrong with her stating "We are investigating this situation fully and when completed, we will release our findings and I'll be glad to discuss it with you then."
 
The reason she isn't saying anything likely is that there's nothing she can say that would help the situation - even a "we're investigating and I'll talk to you when it's over" would lead to speculation.

I really don't know why people think that there's something she can say before the investigation is over that will help. There isn't.
 
Just curious as to how people know about police presence and Julie. Aren't practices generally closed to the public. Once again too much information by people who should know better or get joy in leaking information. I've been to practices and on several occasions have seen Ken Ford who is part of the university police force with general assignment to football and athletics present. No big deal except in thr current climate can be magnified by those who may want to do that. And maybe Julie had an appointment scheduled with Kyle and had some extra time to take practice in and speak to the team. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Every writer at practice today tweeted this. Most have said they'd never seen a police presence at Rutgers practices.

Coupled that with the fact Hermann showed up shortly thereafter...writers had a sense something was going down.
 
Alot of people are mad at Julie, but Flood caused this, whatever he and the rest of us think we should be big boys and take the medicine.
 
What, exactly, is a large police presence? 3? 10? 20? One big fat cop?
Maybe she was just being nice to local cops in a #bluelivesmatter kind of way & letting them see practice?
Otherwise I think 4Real might be onto something.

Could Julie be the suspected leak and she needs police protection from the coaching staff when she is around the team ? lol
 
Whenever Rugers has to hire it's next coach, it is going to have to severely over pay. No coach wants to deal with the drama that this school generates. If they are willing, it's going to take a lot. That place spends more time contriving ways to chop coaches off at the knees than it does trying to win. It's institutional.
 
"It's always great to have the support of your administration,'' Flood said, when asked whether his boss addressed the situation with him during practice. "When the players come out to practice and see that their athletics director is here, I think that speaks to it.''
 
Maybe Chris Christie decided to attend practice with his security detail. Nah, thats impossible why would the governor want to set foot in NJ
 
Maybe they are going to arrest KF for impersonating a football coach.

Sorry, that was too easy.

The only people "speculating" are clinically brain dead zombies - I originally was going to compliment you on your subtly sarcastic first post, but after seeing your 2nd post it occurred to me that you're serious about this stuff. Wow. Give it a rest.
 
So what if she's at practice. She's the AD, she can show up or not show up just like any other AD. It could be tacit support, who knows. Is that really a big deal? As for the police, who knows why they were there. Maybe it's just added security for security sake, maybe some sort of threat came up, again who knows.

What did they think was going to happen? They were going to escort Flood out with police, really?
 
THis just in...they are actually Tennesee state troopers......the law suit lives on!

Yah, I'd say I'm pretty serious about Rutgers football. Unfortunately, this is the big story from the day..just relaying information.
 
seems obvious to flood --she's showing him support--that's a good thing
 
if the cops were at Gators or Florida State practice they would just be dropping players off from the courthouse, here its breaking news
