love all the hate for Flood but yet, nothing for the fool that left us in the situation and AD that gave him the reigns. Don't blame Flood for being in over his head, blame the former coach for leaving at 11th hour and an AD that sucked
blame a college coach for taking a job as head coach in the NFL? NO..blame Barchi and Kate Sweeny for hiring the train wreck known as Julie Hermann who had zero idea what she was doing and had more baggage then a 747.Flood was just the cherry on top of the disaster.

Really OP? Why would anyone eat crow when it comes to this fool
because there are a great number of posters here who said he'd never work again, he was worst O line coach in the country, yada yada yada. When it was pointed out by many that he was a very respected O line coach people bashed those posters. When I pointed out he had feelers for NFL jobs even last year people talked smack. Just wanted to take a second to remind the board fools where they stand. Won't call them out by name as everyone knows who they are. and I'm bored at work

Here's the PFT article: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...weis-jr-kyle-flood-among-new-falcons-coaches/ in addition to Flood, another face familar to Rutgers was hired.

From the article:
Two names on that list are likely more familiar to fans than the other four. Former Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood, who was on the staff at Hofstra with Quinn nearly two decades ago, has been named the team’s assistant offensive line coach and Charlie Weis Jr. is an offensive assistant.

Weis Jr. is the son of former Patriots offensive coordinator and Notre Dame and Kansas head coach Charlie Weis and comes to Atlanta after spending the last two years at the University of Alabama. New offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian was also at Alabama last year.

Former University of Delaware coach Dave Brock will also be an offensive assistant along with Justin Outten. Charlie Jackson and Jess Simpson have been hired as defensive assistants.

oh I agree on the latter as the school should have been prepared and made the wrong hire based on PC bs

Glad I won't have to listen to him on Sirius anymore. He actually wasn't bad... but it kept reminding me of the mess he left us.

Not a Flood fan - vehemently despise the acts that displayed poor judgment & the disregard for policy - and the inability to truly lead and have a vision resulted in a decline in program quality - which was exacerbated by the the fact that the program transitioned into a dramatically more competitive conference.

But - it is over - what is done - is done.... and it is time to move on
Some may want to dwell on the dark evils of Flood - forever - ... but it just seems pointless - There really is no reason to eternally mutter "a pox on the house of Flood" - no need for him to be relegated to being an unemployable pariah - let it go - just be glad that the page turned and that phase of ineptitude is in the rear view mirror.

Makes sense. HC Quinn and Flood go way back. Quinn once coached at Morristown.

Thought all along that Quinn would reach out and start Flood's "rehabilitation". Old buddies.

I went to HS with Dan's older brother. Dan was never a coach at Morristown. In fact he never coached on the high school level. Went straight to college ranks after he graduated from Salisbury. If they know each other it's probably from a coaching clinic or mutual friend.

Nearly 100% of people here said he will never coach in FBS again. Still true.

Some suggested FCS or D3 or HS.

Falcon fans must be thrilled. What a stupid hire.

Good luck with that.
On paper, I'd bet the average Falcons fan is thrilled with the hire. They don't know or care about trips to the Princeton Library. If they pull up his Wiki page they see a career OL coach under Schiano, has a winning record as a HC, was BE coach of the year, 8-5 year one in the B1G, and I'm sure glowing reviews from a HC that got them to the Super Bowl.

As noted above, they knew each other from coaching at Hofstra.

Would that be Peter? I grew up in Morristown.

They both coached at Hofstra.

On paper he looks good, and we saw what kind of OL he was able to coach in a pro set with talent recruited by someone else. Not a bad hire if he makes the transition to NFL.

As far as what Rutgers owes him, depends on the agreement, but usually if you take another position it offsets the severance.

The average Falcons fan doesn't give a turd who the assistant OL coach is. In fact the die hards don't care either.

Flood was good as an OL Coach. He was a bad HC and a god awful recruiter.

This is obviously one of Flood's buddies throwing him a bone. I mean how much damage can the assistant offensive line coach do?

You need to read more and post less. I don't think they care. I was responding directly to someone who said Falcons fans would be upset with the hire.
