Flood may in time be a very good hire, but it seems like this whole process from RU was so narrow-minded. It seems like they were only looking at retaining this current recruiting haul like it's the be-all end-all. They obviously have a pretty good class lined up on paper, but when it comes down to it were they looking to hire the best coach to lead them forward in the future? These next couple years will be very important for them as they will be trying to get into either the Big 10 or ACC. I know they wanted to rush to hire someone because of the signing day situation to avoid disaster, but one would think it would be more important to make sure they did due diligence when making such a big hire for the program and future.
 
To me it seemed like Cristobal might have been a solid get for them, but I wonder if one of the breaking points besides money was that Rutgers was basically demanding that he keeps their whole current staff. What kind head coach wants to head to a new place where he can't bring his own coaches and has to teach new coaches his systems, ways of doing things etc. Cristobal would be basically setting himself up for failure. Rutgers definitely has some solid assistants who are stud recruiters but that's part of game when a getting new coach is that there is pretty much complete staff turnover.
