Rutgers Cleans House, Fires Head Coach And Athletic Director

Rutgers Head Coach Kyle Flood and Athletic Director Julie Hermann couldn’t escape the onslaught of firings on Sunday.

Rutgers has fired both coming off a 4-8 season for the Scarlet Knights.

Flood has been with the program since 2005, but didn’t become its head coach until 2012. Since then, he recorded a 27-24 record. Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014 and owns a 12-13 (4-12 Big Ten) record since.

As CBSSports.com reports, Flood also had off-the-field issues this year that could have factored into a decision.

Flood was suspended for three games, and fined $50,000 earlier this season following a school investigation into rules violations.
