I have my doubts

For the last eight years, I have been a season ticket holder at Rutgers. Yesterday I left Rutgers Stadium with questions about the future of this program following their disaster loss to Houston on Homecoming weekend. 

The biggest question I have and the hardest to answer is very simple: Is Kyle Flood the man to lead to this program into the Big Ten? 

When Flood replaced Greg Schiano two seasons ago, I thought that it was the right move. By appointing Flood, Rutgers was able to hold together the programs first ever top 25 recruiting. Fast forward two years and I wonder if he is the right man. 

Moving from the American Athletic Conference/Big East to the Big Ten is like going straight from Pre-School to Law School. It's the big time, with big time programs and big ego coaches. The later is my biggest concern with Flood. Flood is one of the nicest people in college football and former players have told me as much, but you know what they say about nice guys they tend to finish last. 

Does Flood have what it takes to be the future of this program. We might never know until its too late.
