HEAD COACH KYLE FLOOD 2012 BIG EAST Coach of the Year

PMS 5435 PMS 5415

Kyle Flood was named the 29th head coach at the Birthplace of College Football on January 31, 2012. Flood, who served on Rutgers’ coaching staff for the previous seven seasons, assumed the head coaching vacancy created after Greg Schiano resigned his position to become head coach of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flood made an immediate impact on the Rutgers program as he led the school to its first BIG EAST Championship in 2012. Flood ended the season being named BIG EAST Coach of the Year, an honor he shared with Louisville’s Charlie Strong. Flood’s nine regular season victories were the most by any first-year coach in Rutgers’ history as eight players garnered All-BIG EAST honors. Khaseem Greene became the second player in league history to be named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year for two consecutive seasons. Greene also became the fourth player in school history to be named to the Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America team, joining former RU standouts Ray Rice, Marco Battaglia and Anthony Davis on the pretigious list. One constant on any coaching staff with Flood is how successful those teams have fared. In 16 of Flood’s 17 seasons as an assistant coach, his teams finished with winning records, including earning a National Championship at Delaware. The last time Rutgers promoted an assistant coach on staff to the head coaching position was the naming of Frank Burns to replace John Bateman in 1973 — and Burns became the winningest coach in school history. A highly respected figure in the coaching profession, Flood has served as the assistant head coach of the program since 2008 and has been a key part in Rutgers’ six bowl appearances over his seven-year tenure in Piscataway. In addition to his four years as the assistant head coach, Flood has been in charge of the offensive line since coming to RU in 2005.

Known as an excellent tactician with strong recruiting ties, Flood has served on the coaching staff of the team with the nation’s longest active bowl winning streak at five games. While being part of a program producing victories at a rate unprecedented in Rutgers’ history, Flood has understood the value of academics for the Scarlet Knights. In 2010, Rutgers’ football program ranked first in the nation in Academic Progress Rate and in 2011 the team followed up with the nation’s No. 2 ranking. In the most recent NCAA APR scores released, Rutgers placed ninth nationally, becoming the only public institution nationally to be ranked in the top 10 in five-consecutive years. During his time ‘On the Banks’, the Rutgers offensive line has consistently produced top-level talent, including several of which who have gone on to the National Football League. Most recently, Anthony Davis became the highest player ever drafted in Rutgers history as the 11th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. Davis has started every game of his two-year career with the San Francisco 49ers at right tackle and helped guide the 49ers to the NFC Championship game in 2012. In 2011, Flood helped tutor true freshman right tackle Kaleb Johnson into one of the nation’s premier rookie offensive linemen, earning Freshman All-America honors. In addition, senior offensive guard Art Forst collected All-BIG EAST First Team honors while senior offensive guard Desmond Wynn was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team. Wynn was signed as a free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the 2012 NFL Draft. Since arriving at Rutgers, Flood has coached 10 All-BIG EAST First or Second Team selections on the offensive line, one All-American and two Freshman All-America honorees. Flood has helped engineer some of the most potent offenses in Rutgers history – evident in a record-breaking 2007 season. The Scarlet Knights’ offensive line ranked second in the nation with just 10 sacks allowed in addition to an RU offense that became the first in NCAA history to have a 3,000-yard passer, 2,000-yard rusher and two 1,000yard receivers in the same season. The Rutgers offense was ranked 18th nationally in total offense in

2007. The offensive line featured two of the top tackles in the nation in Pedro Sosa and Jeremy Zuttah. Both players earned All-BIG EAST honors and were also invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, with Zuttah becoming a third round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flood added run game coordinator to his duties in 2007 and his offensive line helped pave the way for All-American running back Ray Rice, who rushed for a school and then-BIG EAST record 2,012 yards that season. Rice went on to become one of the most-recognizable faces in the NFL en route to consecutive Pro Bowl appearances in 2010 and 2011. In 2006, Flood coached an offensive line that helped Rutgers to one of its most productive seasons, as the group relinquished the fewest sacks in the nation with just eight. His unit was regarded as one of the best in the country and featured Cameron Stephenson and Darnell Stapleton, both who played in the NFL. Flood’s corps of hard-nosed blockers helped guide Rice to an All-America season, as he finished second in the nation with 1,794 yards. Flood came to Rutgers after three seasons at the University of Delaware, where he helped the Blue Hens to a 30-11 record, including a 15-1 mark in 2003 en route to the NCAA FCS National Championship and a share of the Atlantic 10 title in 2004. He also served as assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator during his stint. Prior to his three seasons at Delaware, Flood was offensive line coach at Hofstra from 1997-2001. While at Hofstra, he helped the Pride earn berths in the NCAA FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1999-2001. The Pride were among the top offensive teams in the nation during his tenure, ranking second in total offense, fourth in passing and fifth in scoring in 2001. Flood, a 1993 graduate of Iona College, was a four-year letterwinner for the Gaels. A high school teammate of former Rutgers All-American tight end Marco Battaglia at St. Francis Prep High School in Queens, N.Y., Flood earned First Team All-Liberty Conference honors in 1991 and served as team captain of the Gaels in 1992. Flood’s first college coaching position came in 1995-96 as offensive line coach at Long Island University-C.W. Post. While coaching at C.W. Post, he helped the team to the ECAC Division II Eastern title in 1996. Flood began his coaching career at St. Francis Prep in 1993, as both offensive and defensive line coach in 1993-94.

ARIZONA STATE 34 RUTGERS 18 December 29, 1978 • Garden State Bowl • The Meadowlands

1978 GARDEN STATE BOWL EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - In its first postseason action in program history, Rutgers faced Arizona State at Giants Stadium in the inaugural Garden State Bowl in 1978. The Scarlet Knights pulled ahead in the first half on a touchdown by David Dorn and field goal from Kennan Startzell to take a 10-0 lead. However, the Sun Devils closed the gap just before the end of the first half when Mark Malone found Bob Weathers in the end zone. In the third quarter, Arizona State claimed the lead with two Malone touchdown passes and in the final quarter added another score with a rushing TD to make the score 28-10. Ted Blackwell brought the Scarlet Knights to within 10 points with his five-yard rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion. Rutgers had a final chance to take over the game when an offside kick came bouncing its way, but an offside flag on the kickoff erased the Scarlet Knights good fortune. Arizona State tacked on two touchdowns to secure the 34-18 victory.

In the opening minute of the third quarter, Rutgers extended its lead on an interception returned for a touchdown by Quintero Frierson. The Scarlet Knights scored the final 23 points of the game as Rice added a 46-yard touchdown run and Ito converted a pair of field goals to give RU the 37-10 victory.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE 23 RUTGERS 29 December 29, 2008 • PapaJohns.com Bowl • Legion Field

2008 PAPAJOHNS.COM BOWL BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Fitting that Rutgers would end the 2008 season with a come-from-behind win. After winning only one of their first six games, Mike Teel and the Scarlet Knights erased an 11-point second half deficit to defeat North Carolina State 29-23 in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Leading the comeback -- as he did all season -- was Teel, who passed for 319 yards and two touchdowns, including a 42-yard scoring toss to Kenny Britt to give the Scarlet Knights (8-5) the lead for good in the fourth quarter. Teel’s pass to Britt with 8:30 to play proved to be the winning touchdown. Britt, a third-team All-American, made a juggling catch as he crossed the goal line and finished with six catches for 119 yards. Teel, a senior, was the game’s most valuable player. He ended his career on a seven-game winning streak after being booed at home when he was struggling earlier in the season. NC State (6-7) held a 17-6 halftime edge, led by quarterback Russell Wilson who was 11-for-23 for 186 yards and a score. But Wilson left the game with a strained knee late in the first half and did not return. The Scarlet Knights scored 10 consecutive points in the third quarter on a 31yard field goal by San San Te and an 11-yard pass from Teel to Tiquan Underwood. Rutgers took a 19-17 lead with 13:31 to play on a 28-yard field by Te after a 10-play 70-yard drive. The Wolfpack came right back as reserve quarterback Daniel Evans drove them 64 yards in eight plays and hit Anthony Hill with a 16yard touchdown pass to give NC State a 23-19 lead. But it was only two plays later when Teel hit Britt for the go-ahead score. Score by Quarters NC State Rutgers

RUTGERS 27 IOWA STATE 13 December 30, 2011 • New Era Pinstripe Bowl • Yankee Stadium

2011 NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL BRONX, N.Y. – Chas Dodd hit Brandon Coleman for an 86-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter and Jawan Jamison ran for two scores to lead Rutgers over Iowa State 27-13 in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30, 2011. The Scarlet Knights (9-4) ran their bowl winning streak to five and improved to 2-0 this season at Yankee Stadium, where they beat Army earlier in the season. Rutgers, which played in one bowl game before 2005, is 5-1 in the postseason since that season. The Cyclones (6-7) finished the season on a three-game losing streak, their last win coming on Nov. 18 in Ames, Iowa, when they pulled off the biggest upset of the season against Oklahoma State. That night Jared Barnett threw for 376 yards. In this game, Steele Jantz relieved Barnett in the second quarter and helped pull the Cyclones within 20-13 in the fourth on Jeff Woody’s 20-yard touchdown run with 10:00 left. After an exchange of punts left Rutgers deep in its own end, Dodd went deep to Coleman. The 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman went over 5-7 cornerback Jeremy Reeves, then outran the corner to the end zone to make it 27-13 with 5:47 left. It was Coleman’s only catch, but it turned out to be the play of the game. Jamison, another redshirt freshman giving Rutgers fans hope for more bowls to come, finished with 134 yards on 27 carries.
