Nobody is saying Flood shouldn't have taken the job if offered. But Rutgers hired him because they were cheap
Pssst---that F.A.M.I.L.Y. "poopie," as you termed it was Greg Schiano's doing, and Flood continued it. You know, Greg Schiano, the savior of Rutgers football--perhaps Greg should have been shown the door in his first year. But carry on with the hatefest.
Wow,what a terrible, low class thing to say.
That's great, did not see it here, as it was probably on the Round Table. Don't really care what you"know or heard, as there is no need to air dirty laundry now anyway. Flood is GONE, and don't think there is a single fan that wishes he was here on this board. So, don't get the point of this thread, reviewing water under the bridge.
Sorry, but you are simply wrong.
Don't you have to know something about football to be a color analyst? Just saying.
Do you live with him? I don't think anyone could really answer that one except his neighbors and family, and frankly, I don't care.
Then keep it personal. There are two sides to every story, and gray areas in between. Been through too many situations where at first glance, when you hear X's story, Y is a jerk, and everyone in the room thinks Y is a jerk. Later on, you hear X's story, which is determined to be the correct version, that Y is just a troublemaker and a bigger jerk. These types of issues are not going to get meted out cleanly on an internet forum, nor should they. We learned that last year with Carroo's incident. Aside from that, sometimes good people get put into bad situations and make bad decisions. I am not aware of any perfect human being that has never done anything wrong, except of course, Knight Shift. Peace out.
Great post Knight!! Those of us who follow the program understand why the change was necessary but casual fans think this was one of the most asinine move in RU history. My neighbor (67) thinks we regressed back to late 1980's stature. Our Treasurer (BC graduate) verbally sprinkles salt in the wounds after every defeat. But he too says we made a big mistake getting rid of Flood. For crying out loud he thinks Ash is a plant to shut down the football program. Was this year really that bad?? WTF!!
We have a duty to be clear with our underinformed and misinformed neighbors, friends and colleagues. Kyle Flood needed to and deserved to be fired, without any doubt or hesitation. We will be light years ahead in 2-3 year where we would have been had he stayed. Good riddance.
He was a terrible person to the people that were there to support the players academic efforts. Fought with them constantly and he had no business getting involved in the first place.
The ironically funny thing about that is if the talent had better hands who knows what would have happened around here.
This is absolutely untrue. 2005 BE champ WVU beat SEC champ Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. 2006 BE Champ Louisville beat AC champ Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl.
Well those records kind of did lie. IIRC, one argument was the the second place Big East team would play the 6th place SEC team etc etc.
