Kyle Flood suspended 3 games as Rutgers coach http://t.co/GPQbkWhRXE

Kyle Flood has been suspended three games as Rutgers football coach and fined $50,000 following a university-led investigation into rules violations and amid a recent string of off-field transgressions involving players on his team.
Rutgers has so far dismissed 3 of their starting 4 DBs, including BOTH starting CBs as well as suspending the only player of any note on their team in Leonte Caroo.

Poor guy, first the players issue and now this, boy when it rains it pours. We could see this coming as no doubt that there are a lot of leaks in the athletic department. He probably goes down with the ship and eventually drowns. But I am sure once he dries out, he will wash up somewhere else.

Bada bum pa!

For Coach Flood...
**Puts on sunglasses**
...the water may be too deep.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!

Yeah, it sure looks like the levees have broken and that whole program is under water.

evaporated?

Yeah, the tide is not rising for them - for Alabama, it is a different story.

How does he not get fired for cause immediately just for this issue and not even bringing into account his team full of hoodlums?
He knowingly violated school policy in an attempt to get a grade changed for a highly rated player and did so with the general intent to cover his tracks so as not to be discovered (personal gmail account, no rutgers logo clothes during the meeting, etc.)?
September 16th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
That being said, his punishment fits the offense. If things were going well they would never fire him for that one violation. He could certainly argue against a termination for cause.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:46 PM ^
Didn't we read just yesterday where the AD came in and told the players that Flood had her total support!
September 16th, 2015 at 4:04 PM ^
Like a life jacket supports you in an ocean.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:47 PM ^
Now this is just getting absurd. Not that I mind.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:47 PM ^
Seems like they will be coach shopping in the off-season. Hoke for RU!

If we lose to RU this year, then that would be totally unacceptable. Especially if LC is out.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^
This isn't last year.
September 16th, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
Don't neg me, I'm just trying to prevent the jinx.

Jim Harbaugh will put an absolute beatdown on Rutgers to the point where none of the remaining players on that team will ever want to set foot in Ann Arbor again.

Just a rebuilding season as they wait for players and staff to be released from jail.

For Sparty it's called the offseason.

I hear there's some real great uncommitted players that might get paroled soon. Could really bolster their depth chart
September 16th, 2015 at 11:24 PM ^
Gates Brown was a great Tiger.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^
September 16th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
And is still talking shit about last year...So this is kinda schaudenfreude for me.
September 16th, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^
Very footprint.
Much Big Ten.

There is no reason to keep Flood around at this point. It's impossible to recruit and build a program with so much negative attention.
September 16th, 2015 at 6:16 PM ^
I can think of one reason: the university administration might prefer that Julie Hermann not be the AD to hire their next football coach.

They play Penn State this weekend.
I'm not even sure PSU is going to win that game, honestly.
Rutgers actually thinks it's a rivalry. Their students have chanted "fuck Penn State!" at every game this year so far.
Look at this article titled, "Rutgers students, enough with F--- Penn State"
September 16th, 2015 at 3:57 PM ^
Here's the RU - PSU preview:
September 16th, 2015 at 4:06 PM ^
What we don't see here is that the other team is only rushing one, so the dude in the middle, which I assume depicts Hackenburg, was probably on the ground seconds after this photo was taken. You can see that the offensive line has already ran off to parts unknown here.
September 16th, 2015 at 4:07 PM ^
I think that's the pillow fight at West Point recently.

When an unmoving passing attack meets a wide open secondary, what happens?

September 16th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
September 16th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
Can we just suspend all of Rutgers and be done with it?
September 16th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
Announce initial punishment (3 games) --> See how riled up folks are on Twitter --> Eventually fire the guy
September 16th, 2015 at 3:59 PM ^
when it rains, it pours...
...crickets
September 16th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
I can't even make fun of them at this point.
They take all the fun out of it. :(
