Laviano lashes out on social media
- Thread starter YoUnG-Ru-FaN-FL
- Start date
This shows a lack of discipline from above. I have suspended players for less.
Rettig should be Rutgers' Instagam representative.
Find another team. Very, very nice. Just shows you the lack of discipline and leadership from a student athlete who doesn't realize he is getting a free education at a top rate University to play football. This is another example of a coach with no control.
Coach should make him apologize. At least that's what a coach with integrity would do.
Yep, that's what a leader would do with an eye on the big picture.
Man, Laviano won over so much sympathy yesterday, and he just threw it away.
He should realize the fanbase is not against him - they're against his stubborn coach.

Maybe if he spent a little more time on the practice field instead of dicking around on instagram he'd have more than one TD pass in the last two months. Of course he loves Flood. A normal coach would have him riding the pine.
. It's real. I'm on Instagram & just looked it up. His account is public so anyone can see it. If there was any doubt KF has lost control of the team this confirms it.
Eh not a fan of it especially from a qb, but I won't make a big deal about it. It's no worse, probably less so, than what Elliot did at OSU this past week questioning coaches. It's a mistake and if he has any sort of guidance something he'll learn from. Fighting/inciting the fans whether they're right or wrong is a pointless proposition.
i am not one for booing players and never have been but to me that opens him up next year to any he, personally, might receive
Cue the apologists who will say "oh leave him alone. he's only a kid and thought he was booed". As a matter of fact this was brought up in that hilarious press conference post game. Fuud should have went into the locker room and talked to the kid. Instead, hours later we get the middle finger from a QB who is right now marginally more talented than Ted Trump or Chad Schwenk.
Leaders don't do this type of thing. Embarrassing
I want to give the kid the benefit of the doubt and I will. He's 19-20 years old. But, I agree, if these kids truly loved and respected Flood they would do what he tells them. Based on Floods post game comments I assume he told CL he did not handle the booing incident well. I guess the message didn't sink in....
He has no discipline and the team is clearly out of control. And this is coming from a team LEADER. Flood needs to be gone tomorrow.
Yeah, he used asterisks, but we know what he meant. I felt bad for him because he was having a good game and then came the boos, but honestly if he has that attitude he's just going to ask for it more and more and more and more.
I hope our new coach sits down with him and he ends up transferring once he doesn't get the starting spot.

You think Julie brings this to breakfast with Bob? Says this is what we've been dealing with in football for three years?
Maybe a little I told you so about 2013?

Also telling me to find another team? I've been a Rutgers fan since before you were born kid.
I never like the term "kids" which I see thrown out a lot. These are young adults but they're going to make mistakes especially in this age of social media. You don't want to see this kind of thing from any of the player, especially a leadership position like the qb but hopefully he'll get some guidance from above realize it's a mistake and there's never anything to be gained by fighting/inciting fans no matter right or wrong. Best thing is to just keep putting your nose to the grind stone to improve and best to keep any perceived or real slight to yourself and use it as motivation.
It reflects poorly on the head coach. Right or wrong, the coach should already have forced this student athlete to issue an apology. And how is this going to help the player next year?
Can't blame him. He's been hearing boos coming onto the field a couple times this year "based on the coaches decisions". People have definitely boo'd him too. People are in denial here if they don't believe that. And him getting a 'free ride'. These players earn their free rides by dedicating a lot of time on the field and practice and traveling and fitting schoolwork in there too. Not exactly your typical 'free ride' college studentstudent
As the fan base, we should all email this photo to Merger Bob. Let him know that when he sends the fundraising letters and season ticket renewals, we may "find another school".
Good for Chris/ . God forbid some of our boys have anger and emotion. They are their own men and don't need a coach telling them what to do.
Why does everyone want the boys in our society to be so tame ?

We're here to stay and don't give a **** about u ... Players, coaches, I love em all. #find another team.
okay...
FIRE FLOOD.
okay...
FIRE FLOOD.
Apologize to idiots like you who booed him, you are truly crazy.
I am so proud of Laviano for sticking up for himself against classless people who boo a kid for throwing for 344yds and 4 tds in one game.
Maybe you should look at the cost of college education these days. You think other college students don't work while in school or have jobs to help pay for things? Laviano gets over $100k through 4 years of free education and $4500 per year to make those practices and fitting in that schoolwork. There is ZERO excuse for such behavior. ZERO
It's idiots like me that give him a chance to even be here.
The fans booing him was a mistake. Laviano reacting and egging on the fans waving his arms was a mistake. Flood said he would learn from this and not react. Obviously he did not learn anything.
I'm a hundred percent behind Laviano here. The pepole that booed should go root for Monmouth.
Not as embarrassing as people who boo a QB that has thrown for 344 yds and 4tds.
BTN and everyone else has said that this was classless but you are not embarrassed by the booing, you are embarrassed by someone calling you out. You should be like these college kids now a days and go find your safe place.
Please do. Go leak wrong inside info on the UMASS board or something and go away.
A pugnacious attitude can be admirable - many coaches find success in nurturing an 'us against the world' attitude - but this has jumped the shark - this just seems to have morphed into a weird & twisted siege mentality and it should not be encouraged.... but unfortunately the dysfunctional graceless & willful nature of Flood seems to have contaminated the atmosphere.
Yeah let's take on the Fanbase with an immature middle finger post like that. That'll show them to me it's no different then floods defiant press conferences just less politically correct
Haven't been wrong on Flood yet there buddy. He is still here
Fans booing a player coming back in following a missed play due to injury...should find another team.
