Firing of Rutgers coach Kyle Flood, AD Julie Hermann long overdue

Kyle Flood said on Saturday that he fully expected to be Rutgers’ head coach “for a long time.”

On Sunday, according to the university, both Flood and athletic director Julie Hermann were fired.

In the end, the pair made plenty of missteps -- enough where they could’ve been justifiably fired three months ago -- but they were primarily fired Sunday for the on-field product. Let’s not pretend otherwise.
