>>As the Rutgers football program has been riddled by arrests, suspensions, allegations of drug use and blowout losses, coach Kyle Flood has fought to keep his job.

But it's Flood's boss who may be the first to answer for the scandals that have torn through the football program.

Rutgers athletic director Julie Hermann is expected to meet with university President Robert Barchi before the end of the weekend, three people familiar with the situation told NJ Advance Media on Friday. The meeting, presumably called by Barchi, is the first evidence the university's administration is preparing to act.

All three people spoke on the condition of anonymity. One of the three said Barchi appears to be leaning toward firing Hermann and Flood once the football season ends.<<


Guess we should be rooting for Turtle U in the Cable Box Bowl tomorrow?

I thought they were fighting each other in a loser leaves town match ala WWF style. I like Herman in that one.

I'll be rooting for RU if it keeps both of them there. Those two, especially Herman, can't get out of their own way.

Point taken - I was conflicted.

 

[TRest]

Yes, the danger always exists that they hire someone competent, despite the historical record.

They had someone competent in Pernetti....Barchi fired him to save his own neck.

Barchi is a Christie lacky who was hired to over see the merger between RU and UMDNJ. When the Mike Rice scandal went down there was no way Tim Pernetti was going to keep his job..even though he passed on the info to his then boss Barchi. When it came down to replacing Pernetti...Jim Delany recommended to Barchi that RU hire Wisconsin Deputy AD Sean Frazier. Barchi went with the disaster known as Julie Hermann then UL SR Assoc AD and Sr Women Administrator. Barchi will skate again it seems...and hopefully make another bad hire..his track record isn't too good so far.

What's amazing is that Hermann has kept her job this long.

The B1G got it's presence in NYC with RU, but I suspect that it is a bit different than they anticipated.

 

[epark88]

I hate Exit 9 as much as any other sensible college sports fan, but even Barchi can't mess this one up:

There is no way in Hades that you allow Julie Hermann to hire your next football coach.

Period.

Dude needs to fire Hermann, axe Flood, and for Delany's sake if a conference is foolhardy enough sign off on $30 million a year for his lame- athletic department, dude should probably take heed to their advice every now and then. Couldn't hurt, might help.

I dunno. Maybe common sense isn't all that common down at Exit 9...

 

[Skiblets]

If you fire your AD and your coach, you are pretty much giving away the next year's recruiting class. Have to hire the AD before you hire the new head coach. What HS senior with other offers would commit to that lack of stability?

 

[SubbaBub]

Only at Rutgers is this even a question.

 

[Dooley]

I have to admit that I've enjoyed this Julie/Flood show for as long as it has lasted. I will miss it when it eventually comes to an end. There is not an athletic department more incompetent than Cable Box U.

As.long as Christie remains Governor (2 more years, not counting his White House fantasy), Barchi is safe. My guess, Flood get a the axe as Barchi picked Herman. She will then hire Pasqualoni

Why wouldn't he? Everybody there has their head in the sand down there.

He would straighten out the madhouse going on at Rutgers or maybe Schiano II

Somewhat surprised as I did not even know that Barchi knew where the athletic department is after leading powerhouse Thomas Jefferson in Philly before coming to Rutgers. Jefferson, by the way, does not even have an athletic department.

I wonder how much of this is driven by feedback that Rutgers has received that ? in of their targeted replacement football coaches have any interest replacing Flood as long as Herman remains as AD. The local paper here is reporting that Flood is gone.

Overall, it's full rebuilding mode for the Scarlett Knights. Going to be a while before the B1G sees a relevant Rutgers on the football field or basketball court. Luckily, the B1G wanted Rutgers for its TV sets and recruiting grounds. Actual athletic success would only be a bonus.

>>Flood was on Long Island on Sunday morning for a recruiting trip, traveling to a New York high school championship game by helicopter<<

Does he have to walk back to campus?

 

[CL82]

Hey Tim, Barchi here.
Oh not much same old thing, nose to grind stone and all that.
Now Tim, about that little misunderstanding we had, I'm thinking we should put all that behind us...
Why are you laughing Tim?
I'm just saying that we like have you back as part of the Rutger fam.... Tim are you even listening to me?
Dumpster fire? Well we've had are problems this year but I don't think ...
Look Pernetti, I can't have this conversation if you won't stop laughing...
Well you're welcome for the laugh, but I don't think I'll go into a career in comedy...
So it is fair to say that you aren't interest....
Okay, I'll just hang up now...
