Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach (Rutgers Head Coach 2001-11)
"It’s no coincidence that since Kyle Flood joined Rutgers’ staff in 2005 that the Scarlet Knights had a winning record in six of his seven seasons. In his past 17 seasons as an assistant at Hofstra, Delaware and Rutgers, Flood’s teams have had 16 winning records, including capturing the Division I-AA national title at Delaware. Under Flood, Rutgers annually featured one of the nation’s top offensive lines, just look at the plethora of NFL Draft picks he’s developed. Look for Flood to lead Rutgers to its first elusive Big East title." KEVIN HASLAM Oakland Raiders offensive lineman (Rutgers 2005-09)
“I am extremely happy for Kyle, his family and the entire Rutgers Football family. It is exciting to see a friend whom you coached with for so many seasons get an opportunity to lead these terrific young men.” KELLY WHITESIDE USA Today National College Football Writer "As the words of Rutgers' alma mater proclaim, it's 'The Time of the Flood.' With Kyle Flood, and the success of the past decade, that time has come."
“I think Coach Flood will do a great job as head coach of the program. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in the game of football. The first thing he said every year to us was ‘Football is about the details’ and that’s what I learned most from Coach Flood and I still use that every day. He is extremely competitive and wants the best out of everyone.” JOE SCHAD ESPN College Football Reporter “Rutgers needs a football coach who understands the tri-state culture, who has relationships with and the respect of New Jersey high school coaches, who has energy and passion about recruiting and the belief that championships can be won at Rutgers. On all those counts, Kyle Flood fits the bill.”
