No one is acting like we deserve to be Ohio State.... However, we should see improvement from year to year if we have the right pieces in place. Instead we are going backwards.... No discipline on the field and no discipline off the field.... Poor coaching and poor play ..... This year in my opinion was just as important as last year. It was the year that we proved that last year wasn't a fluke. Instead we are in serious danger of reverting back to Pre Schiano days.... Is it really unrealistic to ask for moderate improvement year over year given the local high school talent that is available? It's not like we are in New Mexico, Connecticut or South Dakota.
Let's be realistic: When do you fire Flood?

I didn't see Kyle on the field coaching vs Kansas. Just what did he do at the game that displeased some of you? He did not call a single play or adjustment and yet we have people blaming him for things on gameday.
If any changes may be made or contemplated it will come at the end or near the end of the season and will probably be in the form of a resignation and settlement.

I have a bad feeling there is more coming down the pike that will embarass us more. And I'm also getting the feeling that JH is not long for her job either. I have no inside info just a gut feeling. I think Barchi and the BOG are PISSED at the negative publicity.
Running backs, receivers, special teams. There's three. What have YOU done that's an improvement? Boo louder?
Heard on the radio broadcast that Sciano was at the Hall of Fame Dinner. Was he in town just for the chicken?
I sooo agree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,tired of the little minds hacking away...lets just enjoy the seasonDo we really need a fire Flood post every hour? If you want to be realistic, flood is not getting fired because of anything we do on the field this year no matter how much you wish it. I think you need help.
What the heck did Julie do to deserve getting fired? The slack jawed doofus playing Cloak and Dagger in Princeton is not on her.
Also I was a Flood supporter before this season but no more. I would be more than happy to see him canned after the season but we do not need the circus of a mid season firing. His latest class is strong so let's at least keep him around to reduce the possibility of mass defections.
Bad publicity centered around the athletic department. I'm not saying she should or should not be let go based on this, but the BOG and alumni are not happy with the negative publicity.
So if this happens then good for you for having some inside info and I will defer to you for any program related discussions. If this doesn't happen then will you disqualify yourself from any future "fire Julie and Flood" conversations?
You seem pretty sure of yourself so you shouldn't have any problem with this proposition.
He posted this rumor about JH/KF in premium and at least half of it and the reasoning for it was already debunked by John O. and the post was deleted. Not sure why it popped up here again. I guess we'll see what happens, if anything.
They won't hide, they will just say Flood has more integrity than D'Antonio and Meyer and the loss was on JH/GS/aurora borealis/people on this board and that we should just wait more time.
If he does get fired it will be at the end of the season. It would be a huge disservice to the kids if he is let go during the season. Nothing good can happen this isn't Pro football. You have to see if he can turn things around first. It would be a huge mistake for the Administration to fire him during the season and would bring nothing but more bad press. At the end of the season you can point to the record and off the field incidents. A good AD will have their list ready and have already contacted agents about interest if the season continues to tank. If others get fired you desire add them to interviews and pick your coach. You don't rush this process unless it's truly the one and only one you desire. However, we have seen RU screw this up before.
First, your "rebuttal" makes no sense. In what way are any of those three positions better than they were under our last head coach? Honestly, a very good argument can be made the exact opposite way for each. Second, I'm not paid by the Athletic Department to improve the football team so I think I've done just about as much as you to improve the program, absolutely nothing, but this still being America and all I am just gonna go ahead and feel free to ask you exactly what "very good things" you mean.
End of 2010 season for incompetence as a co coordinator and position coach
Wait, nevermind
Wait, nevermind
Keeping the QB question aside...The O line did a decent job. Made some holes for the run game to have some success.
Which in turn should open up the passing game.
Now if Laviano can hit the quick crossing routes and make the correct reads, he can flourish. If he doesn't than I'd rather see a deep threat type of O.
Question still remains if our line can offer the protection for a deep passing game.
That thought is just too good to be true. It makes too much sense to happen at Rutgers. Instead RU will allow the controversy surrounding an incompetent coach and an impotent AD to fester all season and continue to divide the fan base while putting the recruiting in a danger zone.
Coaches do not interview for a job when the current coach is still there. Most coaches wont do it as a sign of respect. It would be pretty sleazy for the school to do and you would have to be quite a sc&mbag to interview. Having said that, I can see the incompetents at Rutgers trying to do this.
oh wait its the same guy who claimed the proof was that Julie had to hand in her university issued cellphone which was immediately debunked
I would say it doesnt really matter as long as its no later than the Monday after the MD game.
We arent going to find an HC worth a damn before the season is over unless we are hiring Schiano (which I think would be a mistake without at least testing the waters to see how else is out there). So do the prep work throughout the season, but give Flood the dignity (and indignity) of playing out the string.
I could also see it happening for PR purposes if Nebraska is our 7th loss and its a blowout in front of a less than full stadium. Basically just to say, we are serious about FB and won't accept this kind of crap. It would send a bit of a message, although it wouldnt have much impact on the end result of who we get, or whether recruits stay no board. Another reason to do it would be to put the donors in a bind (i.e. even if they supported Flood - now they know that they have no choice but to either get behind hiring a great new coach, or being petulant babies and sinking the program for another half a decade by not supporting it.)
What we dont want is a situation where we go 5-7 and there is alot of hemming and hawing trying to drum up money from donors for a few weeks only to fire him after the primo choices have gone elsewhere.
Good point. We should give up on the area where we have a natrual advantage and focus on say Pennsyvlania, Ohio, and Florida - defintely easier to recruit against PSU, OSU, and FSU/Miami/Florida in their home states than in NJ. Since it isnt actually easier, then we will need to find diamonds in the rough - but thats easier in NJ too - where we see the players alot more.
In short - if you are in a top 10 recruiting state, and your strategy relies on not recruiting that state - you are doing it wrong and probably need a new coach. And don't bring up Schiano. He used Florida and the wider region as a supplement - but his focus was NJ - remember the famous meeting when he was first hired. I dont think there was a single year that he did as bad in NJ as Flood has in all four of his classes.
That's a nice fantasy (flood, at least, has to go) but I think it is not within the realm of reality. Wish there were facts to back it up.
They won't hide. Get ready for it, because the 2015 SPIN will be in effect soon.
Last year, before the season even started, I said here that we should all get ready for the SPIN - the propaganda machine rode the notion that Rutgers would be lucky to win 3 games entering B1G play. How can a team that only won 6 games in the American (aka CUSA 2.0) handle their first season in the B1G. 2 wins. 3 wins. 4 wins. The propaganda spin was on. In the mean time what did some of us predict? The 2012 team was very talented and severely under achieved. With a seasoned coach like the Fridge on board, the ingredients were there for a 8-10 win B1G campaign. And lo and behold what happened? Of course the successful campaign played right into the spinsters plans. It worked to perfection. Flood received accolades for a "successful" season and was even extended. Did everyone remember the timing of Flood's extension? Right before we played the big boys? Under promise and over deliver! Bravo! Played to perfection.
So, this year, what will be the new spin? Ready? Get a pencil and write this down.
The new spin this year will be as follows:
- Lack of a compliance culture led to all these kids getting in trouble - the problem isn't Flood - it's the AD office!!! (although I missed all those kids from the other sports getting in trouble though ..... oh well, no matter, this will be one of the spins - blame Julie!!!).
- These kids betrayed Flood. How can you win when you have this much turnover in your team? That's not Flood's fault. He can't babysit all these kids. Besides these bad eggs were Schiano's kids anyway (don't laugh I already heard this excuse). Next year, Flood will have his "good kids" and they will make you proud of the program again.
- The B1G is too tough this year. (This will be similar to 2013 spin of "playing all those NFL quarterbacks" - CUSA 2.0, but nevertheless NFL QBs!!!). So, yes, the B1G is too tough and Flood shouldn't be punished for it. OMG, we are playing the number 1 and number 2 teams in the country!!! How is Flood supposed to deal with that?
I could buy that. She's never had the full support of RU's decision makers, so tey might use this whole thing as an exuse to clean house. Although the timing is bad - you don't really want to have a committee or interim AD hiring the next FB coach, but you dont really have time to fire Julie, hire someone new, and have them get up to speed enough to make that decision either.
