Where does Flood land after the axe falls?

[ruready4somefootball]

Running a P5 football program has to count for something. Maybe he never gets another HC job at the D1 level, but will he get another D1 job as a position coach? He's way to young to call it quits so I'm sure he'll be looking to do something football related. Without trashing him,what do you think is a realistic landing spot for Kyle?

 

[Jersey383]

He's said many times that this is the only head coaching job he wants, and this will be his last coaching job. He probably wont coach after he gets fired as he is set for life with the money he made over the past 4 years.

 

[MozRU]

High School OLine coach. No doubt.

( After taxes, he is hardily set for life. He'll need to invest it right and reinvest those dividends. No way he can shut it down. It takes serious money to shut it down)

 

[SHUSource]

He's still a young guy who won't be 45 until January, so I think he needs to keep working. He seemed comfortable and at his level as an O-line coach. He's got a good rapport with his players, but just isn't a program manager or a leader. Being a head coach isn't for everyone, and there are plenty of great football men whose ceiling is as a position coach or coordinator. There's no shame in that. I think he'll find work easily, but never again as a head coach in Division I.

 

[NorthNJRUFan]

Wow... There will be a monstrous board meltdown if Flood isnt let go!!!

 

[chrisru99]

Nah it will be more of the same if he is not let go. $$$$ will be the reason if he is not let go. If that is the case we have no one to blame but ourselves. Last in this conference is fundraising and if you count all power 5 teams Id bet we are way down at the bottom of that list too. Money talk and BS opinions walk. At Rutgers we have many opinions as a fan base but that's about it. This is no rumor this is fact if he stays it is because of money.

Bucknell with Joe Susan, Western Michigan with PJ Fleck, Delaware with Dave Brock

 

[straighttalkexpress]

He's also probably in PERS so he's set for life

 

[satnom]

He'll go work for Harbaugh or Meyer as an assistant to an assistant to an assistant.

GO RU

Flood could be the next Bond........he has been practicing secret ops

 

[brookdale-soda]

This is a good question. quite honestly, I would not be surprised if one of our competitors poached him as an asst. As an position coach, he was a pretty good recruiter. I'm sure there was a reason that he was given a promotion to asst. head coach under schiano without promoting him to OC (Asst OC was BS i think.)

flood kept on getting the title promotions with raises under schiano without ultimate control. there mustve been a reason.

asst head coach
co-Off coord.
run game coord.

And he's ruined everything he's touched.
He can go back to being a high school math teacher.

No. For quite some time new employees at Rutgers have gone into ABP which is basically a 401k.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Keep in mind his reputation has suffered a serious blow. Most people don't know the "details," just that he was a crooked coach who tried to cheat. And unlike other cheaters he doesn't have the history of success to make him worth a shot. Maybe he could be head coach of Willy P.

Set for life? LOL

Scenario #1: O Line Coach at Delaware, Dave Brock is one of his best friends.

Scenario #2: Head Coach at Monmouth after Coach Callahan retires in a year or two.

Scenario #3: Head Coach at Middlesex High School where his son will soon be playing.

Go Blue Jays. Can't wait to be 1-0.

 

[mildone]

The situation w/the improper contact will hurt him. That's the wildcard and he'll have to overcome it somehow to get his next job. But I have little doubt that he will wind up with a head coaching job somewhere.

Interested objective observers will look at this season and conclude that no coach would be having a great season in these circumstances. And they will look at his record for the first three seasons and see that he went 23-16, including 8-5 his first year in the Big Ten. Which will be enough to get him in the door for a couple interviews.

He's stubborn, but that's true of most coaches. He's young as a head coach, but he's had some success. He'll get recommendations from a number of good coaches.

All this means nothing to our resident haters or to much of our fan base that is fed up with him. But it will mean something to some AD's out there who are engaged a dispassionate coaching search.

Just because I never thought he was the right guy for this job doesn't mean that I think he's an idiot or that he's incapable of coaching a team. Coaches that are hated by their current fan base get rehired elsewhere all the time.
Okay haters, you're up. Let the hatred flow. [banana]

I agree, but it's not our fault, or certainly not mine.

 

[megadrone]

Remember he still brought us our only conference championship. That will count for something.

 

[vkj91]

He will easily get a job as an o line coach.

He'd be perfect an FCS school, where you don't have to worry about big time recruiting.

 

[DaveSNJ]

You guys are going to be disappointed, when Julie gets 150 some odd emails from a fanbase of say 50k, 60k and says to herself maybe some of these have a point but most if not all sound like whiny little kids. Without money nice thought but not happening. I guess some folks would love to see recruiting fall apart just to prove a point. Like those folks that root against ru now, lol.

 

[mikershoein]

He'll go be an assistant, and may resurface a more polished coach in 8-10 years

So you're saying he's done a credible job and should remain the coach. You're as delusional as the coach if that's how you really feel.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers will hire him as director of academic compliance or fundraising .Flood will take a big pay cut but will have a secure job for another 15 years.

 

[RUfan121]

[mildone]

I think maybe so. And I think we'll probably get the opportunity to see if it is true or not.

Although the email thing could really gunk things up for him. He's probably already kicking himself for that bit of stupidity.

 

[RUkhoury]

Remember he still brought us our only conference championship. That will count for something.

Khaseem Greene, Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon, Juice Jones, Marcus Cooper, Scott Vallone, and Steve Beauharnais brought us that conference championship.

 

[mildone]

So you're saying he's done a credible job and should remain the coach. You're as delusional as the coach if that's how you really feel.

Speaking of delusional, while he may feel Flood's done a credible job, that's not what he actually said. He talked about what Julie might do, not how he feels.

The lynch-mob thought police are getting a little out of control. Would it kill you to allow someone to have a different opinion from you without molesting them for it?

 

[megadrone]

Khaseem Greene, Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon, Juice Jones, Marcus Cooper, Scott Vallone, and Steve Beauharnais brought us that conference championship.

Correct, but Flood was on the sidelines for that, and he can use it as an accomplishment if/when he has to look for another job.

 

[RUfinal4]

Mario Cristobal is about the same age and is being rumored for some of the current openings.

Flood can easily work as an O-Line coach at a B10 or ACC school (ie. Cuse, BC, Pitt, Mich, Ohio St, UVA, etc...) and then work his way back up to a coordinator and maybe a HC. He probably can step in as a HC at a FCS school now.

if fired and given $1.4 mil he may sit out a year while waiting for the right role. I can see him being one of the guys in the studio for Saturdays for SNY or the BTN until he finds his next home.

 

[megadrone]

Correct, but Flood was on the sidelines for that, and he can use it as an accomplishment if/when he has to look for another job.

And could be ideal as HC at Villanova when Talley retires. not a bad landing spot.

 

[MoobyCow]

I think maybe so. And I think we'll probably get the opportunity to see if it is true or not.

Although the email thing could really gunk things up for him. He's probably already kicking himself for that bit of stupidity.

He strikes me as a guy who just wants to go to work and do his job well. He simply doesn't have the semi-maniacal drive that you need at this level. Unless the job is all consuming and losing burns you inside so you can't sleep, you fail as a P5 coach. As I've said before, that likely makes Flood a more well rounded person, and a happier person, but it doesn't make him the guy you pay $1m plus to coach your team.

 

[Knight Ed]

I think O-Line coach anywhere or a head coach at a really low level college. His resume is just not that impressive.

 

[miker183]

No sign of him in PERS according to APP's Data Universe

 

[Chris95]

Any job where he gets a clipboard so he can continue to write on it. Still amazes me how he writes something down after every play! He's a nut job!
