What Would It Take For You to Have Flood Back Next Year?

It would take free tickets and parking passes because I can't bear another year of throwing money at watching my alma mater get kicked in the face

If Flood is retained for another season, something I still think is more likely than not given the RU administration's history, this board's meltdown will be truly epic. We'll shift from standard bipolar mode right into full on psychotic mode.

Despite the fact that I don't think Flood is the right guy for the job and never did, I have to confess that I almost hope they retain him just to have a chance to watch the level of insanity ramp up here as the weeks slip by by without an announcement.

OTOH, it's a pretty good bet that the same drama-queens whose lives will apparently be utterly destroyed if Flood stays will become equally drama-filled by whoever RU winds up hiring to replace him. Which will also be fun to watch.

And if the new coaching staff happens to pick Laviano to start over Rettig and Russo (if he stays committed), then that, combined with this board's better support for retaining old threads and posts, would make for a truly fun time.

Either way, it's a great time to be an observer of human nature.

Will not meltdown but will give up all things RU related included scarlet nation and round table. Out of sight out of mind.

Truth is that the kids love Flood where they hated and feared Schiano. Too much of one style nets a negative result on and off the field. I remember the fanbase forgiving and forgetting some of Schiano's losses or failed attempts at changing the offense (wild knight). I remember losing to better coached teams loaded with 2* & 3* talent and most of you do as well. But we always found a way to forgive Schiano because we feared him leaving. Our current coach plays much tougher competition and may finish the season 5-7 but we sit here and pine over a guy who had less than a .500 record played embarrassing out of conference schedules and rarely did better than 7-5. This is why some feel everything being equal coach Flood is not so bad.

Once he started winning he was better than 7-5 (regular season) in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011. Im not a huge fan of the man, but I would say doing something 4 out of 7 goes is more than rarely.

You're including bowl games. In 2005 he went 7-5 and lost to ASU

If he's back I'll watch less college football next year. There is nothing he can do at this point to ever win me back.
