can we include Jordan, Hermann, and Barchi? It's got to be the worst foursome in the NCAA
You've got to be a moron to want this guy around another year.
I'm confused...as fans were impatient..as a man who likes the guy i hate to let him go this late not knowing if we can afford to hire a worthy improvement due to Barchi's frugality..i'm sure young QBs are coach killers so unless we can get a Rhule/Fuentes proven guy i'd side with 1 more half season to see if its youth at QB BUT I'm not confident...it looks like a dropoff in overall talent...i'd go with either scenario but don't think change for it's own sake is smart..
That's been the arguement for the past couple of years. The thinking was that Fludd would be a good gate keeper and things can't get any worse, well apparently things can and have gotten worse. This has gone far beyond change for change sake, keeping Fludd is doing far more damage than letting him go. I agree that Rutgers needs to make a solid hire to replace him, IMO that doesn't mean spending a ton of money on a name coach. It means spending smart money on the right coach. A competent coach that has this team competitive, wins games, and moves the program forward will literally pay for himself.

It's like Groundhog Day around here with people thinking fans are rushing to judgment. Same story, different year.

And of course you have to take the results of a pole like this with a grain of salt. Because really all a poll like this tell you is how many people on this message board are in favor or not of letting flood go. It is really not a true representation of the general population and if they favor letting him go or not. Those coming to this board a day after a game and posting are definitely more inclined to vote no.
My CEO once told me the sooner you admit a mistake, the sooner you can begin fixing it and trying a new strategy.
I voted to keep him. The reasons have been posted by me and others so I won't repeat them. And I love being cursed at so show me some love.
Until such time that the Administration supports the program and makes decisions to invest in the program, it doesn't matter. The next guy who the school will cheap out on and will be provided zero support will have the same results. It's not a question of wanting him. It's a question of who's going to replace him and if the answer is some mid-major HC that's a new hot name and will train on the job as a first time HC at a major level going up against Meyer/Harbaugh/Dantonio then you'll get what you pay for.
6 weeks ago, I thought we should keep Flood, and it isn't because Flood is a good coach. For no other reason, because I know our administration is inept and focused only on revenue neutrality.
What that means is, even if they fired Flood, they would just get another low level assistant to replace him. Some unproven crapshoot coach, which would essentially be more of the same. Best just to wait it out with Flood until we get closer to the B1G pay day.
Now, due to the completely uninspired play, the defense being a complete joke, and his utter mishandling of the QB situation, again, brining in another Flood, while no where near ideal, is better than keeping the original Flood. We know we are going no where with him. There is a chance, however small as it may be, that the next nobody will at least handle those aforementioned items a little better. At this point, I would take that.
Dark times On the Banks for awhile, gentlemen is what I am seeing. I hope I'm wrong and there is a former coach that wants to reclaim some glory, and an administration that can make that happen, while not selling out every other program we have to do it.
That is the best this is gonna get.

The people who vote to keep Flood should not be able to operate heavy equipment or light equipment for that matter
Coaching is an issue, BUT the reason I want him replaced is because of the black eye he gave our Alma Mater. While not totally responsible for the crime spree, it happened under his watch; as the saying goes the fish rots from the head on down.
His "Academic Supervision" is all on him, and in my opinion is, inexplicable.

LOL. But there are alot of rutgers alums that don't stand up for the good name of this university.
The general population thinks he's worse than we do.
We know you thrive on the attention.
I challenge anyone on this board to give us evidence of any kind…someone you know away from these boards that follows Rutgers and advocates for Floods return
Please tell us if you are aware of anyone that supports slyker's claim.
I've been living in Montclair for 50 years and no 100's of semi interested fans, not one thinks Flood should be back, or even coaching know, that's my contribution.
For the record at the YB Museum we host high school coaches and administrators often…all of them think he's no good, a nice guy, yes, but a very poor football coach and recruiter.

Apparently there are people on the round table that support flood. I just don't get it.
Slyker's claim is the general population support him, do you know anyone?
We all know of the staunch Flood supporters that populate our board…they make up a few dozen posters at most
You did not read carefully enough. I said the poll on this board would not reflect the general population. I never made any estimate in my post above how I felt the general population felt or any estimate how I thought a poll of the general population would result. I just made a general statement that those on this board would be more inclined to vote one way. Made no supposition as to how the general population would vote.
To help you understand I will state it a little more simply for you
The RU message board poll may say says 20% for keep and 80% for fire
then general population might feel 40% for keep and 60% for fire
or it might say 70% for keep and 30% for fire
I dont know how the public would vote.
A message board pole is as scientific as a pole on a newspaper website - Very unreliable
You'd have to be a complete moron to not know the influence the media has on the general population.
The general population thinks Flood is a buffoon
I hope the RU administration reads these boards. Clearly an overwhelming majority want him gone on this board. RU, do whatever you can to make it happen please.
Poll, man, poll., not pole. I don't need another reason to cringe every time I see you post.
The people I know are all aware I've been a Rutgers supporter pretty much since birth. (Well, at least since I was old enough to realize that such a thing as college football existed in the world.)
Some are also intense RU fans like me, some are simply casual followers of the program, while others are fans of other schools. -But the one common thread among them all is that they can't understand why anyone would, in any way, shape, or form, support keeping Flood as RU's HC? In fact, the question I'm asked over and over is, "WHY hasn't he been canned already"???
There simply isn't anyone I speak with who even remotely feels KF has any clue about what he's doing, and that's the result of the most telling "poll" of all...the opinions of people in real life.

Guess if I was a PSU fan I'd not only want Flood to stay, I'd want him to be given a lifetime contract. -With KF at the helm of RU football, picking off top Jersey recruits will be as easy for the Nits as taking candy from a baby.
Many friends and classmates of mine who attended Rutgers don't bother to come to football games anymore, and have frequently questioned why I still come to watch Rutgers play while sucking under Flood's coaching. On the other hand, I get calls from many random friends asking to come to big games where there is still hope for RU to be competitive and/or win (like MSU). A new coach and coordinators could change the former to the latter more quickly than people may think..
