It wasn’t about money. Flaherty could coach at any school in the country. Just needs to pick up the phone. He’s 70 years old and to be honest, looks older than that.

RU gave-up seven TFLs vs UMass. I don't care what he looks like. We aren't talking Only Fans. Curt Cignetti is 65. Kirk Ferentz is 71. Flats lives in NJ so he doesn't have to move. "Picking up the phone might not be an option if Schiano kicked him off

I said it at the time. That Flats will be hard to replace. Also that the way this was announced showed that it wasn't Flats choice. In all my years I have never seen a retirement announced as “non renewal” of contract. Thats fired.

Would you like me to give you his cell phone so you can ask him yourself. Greg is a demanding employer. You get to amount in your career where you don’t need that sh$t. Especially from a below 500 career coach.

He lives in Bergen County. So let’s call it an hour plus each way on top of 12 plus hour days. For this? No thanks.

I agree with you and said it at the time. This was less Flats decision, still has desire to coach. Less of a desire to coach for and with Greg. Flats wanted to be renewed but wanted it on his terms. Something Greg didn’t agree to. Didn’t speak with Flats but spoke with someone that played for him. And the fact that it was announced that way pretty much states that.

Biggest winner last night was Pikiell. 10-22 and he stays
He and Schiano will both be here. No one has the balls to do otherwise. Schiano owns this program and Pike just sits on his coattails until there’s another change at the top.

Cant get rid of both...maybe Donald helps
For most schools the priority is always going to be football. It drives the bus and has the ability to make things better if you can get it right.

I can't see both getting fired in quick succession because of the money necessary. If that's the case, football will take precedent as the first thing to try and fix.
