"We knew it would be a tremendous challenge to go 1-0 today..." HEY FLOOD, MARYLAND WAS 2-9! IT SHOULD NOT BE A TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE TO BEAT A 2-9 TEAM AT HOME ON SENIOR DAY!!!
This flood press conference is HILARIOUS
- Thread starter Spare130_rivals
- Start date
One reporter asked him if he knew if he was fired or not. Flood said he expects to be the coach for a long time. Then an NJ com reporter asked, shouldn't Rutgers let you know if you (Flood) are still the coach?. Flood said does NJ Com tell you that you are not fired? I thought that was funny.
I haven't watched yet but please tell us he didn't actually say this.
How very Flood of him to pull out a hidden immunity idol & vote out the hot chick.
He also goes on to say that he won't blame the young kids in the secondary... but then pretty much blames them. Only person that can do no wrong in his eyes is Laviano.
is that the year we lost to a bad pitt team and then to a UofL team with 1 armed and 1 legged Teddy B to "win" the conference? Then played like crap against a 6-6 VT team? Not sure if my memory is correct/
I laughed out loud when he said that. While not exactly analogous situations, it was still a good comeback. All in all, I thought he handled the press conference as well as it could be handled in his position.
I've changed my prediction from 60/40 flood is retained to 80/20 he goes. Based mostly on the leaked info reported by NJ.COM about the upcoming Barchi/Hermann meeting.
I just hope we don't hire someone else to lose in the Big Ten East and spend the money it takes to bring in top quality people. But I fear we'll cheap out on the new hires.
Check out the 58 second mark. I'm a little off: "We knew it would be a tremendous challenge to be 1-0 today against them."
I'm paraphrasing ,but during the MSU-PSU game, the announcers were complimenting D'Antonio for focusing on winning championships, and setting clear season-long goals, not silly slogans like going 1-0 this week, winning the week, etc. I immediately thought of Flood.
I also like his comment on the interception: "He left the ball inside a little bit. You'd like to see Andre knock that down so it's not an interception." True, I would've liked to see that, but that's kind of blaming Patton for Laviano's bad throw.
Overall, though I am slamming him here, I think Flood's comments in the press conference are about what you'd expect. He's going to defend the job he's done.

Rutgers should pull a north korea move and make Kyle Flood the eternal coach for all his greatness, all hail the great dear KF who leads us to great victories...
The fact that there hasn't been a trace of a vote of confidence tells me that he's gone. Barchi was at the game today. He saw the mockery that Rutgers football has become. He's done.
People keep guessing that Fludd will be a future OLine coach or maybe a headcoach at a lower level after he is fired. I think he should seriously get into television...he speaks well, can be funny at times, and is excellent at bullshxting...he would fit right in with the rest of the talking heads.
Seemed to have his talking points about his credentials ready to go. Was not compelling to me. With regard to his game comments while he tried to clarify that he was not blaming the loss on playing freshman it sounded like that is exactly what he was attributing it to. The question of course is where is the depth in the other classes so that only freshman who are ready to play have to play. I guess it goes back to that incident that he would prefer not to discuss anymore.
Just watched the 2 plus R vision clip on the womens soccer match yesterday. Much more enjoyable and on that note I think a good time to take a break from the Board.
After a 4-8 season, I really don't want my head coach bragging about a "conference championship" from 3 years ago. You only bring that up if you're readying to defend yourself, which tells you everything you need to know.
First interview question I ask in the new coaching process, "Do you like to write notes in a book during the game?" Immediate disqualification.
Yes - agreed - it is not unreasonable for Flood to paint his time here in the best possible way. Besides the fact that hell just about anybody would in the same situation, he is in his mid 40s. This is not a Larry Coker situation ( and Coker didn't even hang it up when he was canned). In theory he has several years coaching ahead of him one would think. Probably an assistant at a lower level but hey money is money.
That said, the very fact that he had a prepared justification for why he would not be fired shows he sorta thinks there is at least a possibility of being fired.
I actually drank a few more beers and tortured my brain by listening to his presser and I thought the exact same thing. Fludd knew these questions were coming and actually thought them out. His talking points were definitely ready. I also think that he wasn't only responding to the media, he was making an attempt to talk to the people that will decide his future...whether it be boosters or admin. You don't roll out your resume, (no matter how lame it is), when you're comfortable in your job. You do that when you're looking for a job or trying to save a job.
And Ben Carson is a Neuro who believes the Pyramids housed some type of commodity (wheat, corn who knows), there are no fossils that prove evolution (UNF'ING BELIEVEABLE) and that the Earth is just over 5,000 years old.
MO
He just threw Andre Patton under the bus to protect his boy Laviano. That's real classy.
I'm not sure Barchi understands football...or even knew where he was though
If that's his logic then Laviano shouldn't get credit most of his throws. Most of his completions are great catches made on poorly thrown balls. Thank goodness for Caroo.
And second would be - what is your record if you win the opening game?
If I never hear 1-0 again, will be too soon
I believe Flood knows he got one of the luckiest breaks of his life when he got the RU head coaching gig by default. I also believe he knows he'll never get a shot at another big time HC position again, so he's trying to pull whatever he can out of his bag of tricks to try to save his job and keep those highly lucrative paydays coming that he's been enjoying for the last 4 years.
Unfortunately for KF, though, the party has to eventually end at some point, and we've finally arrived at the time for him to hang up his party hat and go home...permanently.

Again, caring more about himself than spending all the time on the game and preparation. True Flood----he's all Flood first.
The anti "RUTGERS MAN".
It's like the captain of the titanic saying the first 3 days were outstanding..
Classic misdirection

Well, there actually are no fossils that prove macroevolution. Please give one example.
Microevolution/adaptation? Sure plenty of evidence -- no argument here. But Macroevolution? Another story altogether. Thanks.
This was one line that really stood out to me. Tremendous challenge? For him, maybe.
