and James Franklin has relieved his OC/tight ends coach of all duties.
Gonna be a lot of blood in the water this year.

More firings . . . Kyle Flood let go at Rutgers . . .
- Thread starter Sope Creek
- Start date
The Flood firing is not surprising there at all. Surprised it didn't happen earlier in the season. Losing at home to Maryland yesterday was the icing on the cake.
Ironically, Rutgers experienced a big collapse similar to what we did in our game against Rutgers. Maryland was on life support and denied Rutgers a 5th win. Rutgers was actually high on the list of potential 5-7 teams they would have looked at for a bowl if they could find not enough 6-6 teams. Looks like they will take a hard look at Nebraska.

Flood was gone whether they won yesterday or not. Both he and the AD were going to be out anyway.
At PSU, firing the OC puts Christian Hackenberg in an interesting spot. He'll seek a draft evaluation, and it will probably put him in rounds 1 or 2. Will he want to have yet another OC (his third) and the prospect of another tough year as they recover from sanctions or just move forward with the NFL.
Tommy Stevens might be the beneficiary of the tumult.
flood sealed his fate when he met with the professor incognito.
good riddance. the Big 10 doesn't need him or his AD going forward. hopefully Rutgers athletics wont be such an embarrassment to the conference moving forward

Hazell @ PU fired both OC and DC within 26 hours
after end of of Saturday's game + he fired their defensive line coach (Carter).
I was a bit surprised at that firing. She was a questionable hire at best, having been accused of mistreating players when she coached the women's volleyball team at Tennessee and making statements embarrassing to the university. But although things had been rocky at RU, it was mostly football, and Flood was not her hire. She lasted only 2.5 years. This appears to be a complete housecleaning.
That's the sign of a guy who's really feeling the heat. He knows that if he doesn't put out a good product next year, he's gone.
Well, when there are significant questions about the AD, do you really want that person in charge of hiring the next football coach? To me, her firing was the easier decision.
