OK, I get that and can agree, but we also heard all off-season that he was starting next to Goosby all through the spring and most of fall camp, but then magically it was Stroh. Make it make sense. Stroh is literally abysmal, and their thought process while getting throttled by UF was to put in Brooks, a guy who has never played the position, only tackle, rather than play, oh, I dunno, Kibble? Since Flood likes to move his guys around, why not put in a natural G who has been in the system for a year rather than a true freshman tackle? It makes no sense.
What Flood has done in the past is irrelevant. What he has done the last 4 seasons is mismanagement at best. It's like saying we should hire Mack Brown because he won a championship and put a lot of players in the draft, but of course that would be stupid because look at what he is now. This applies to Flood as well. We have close to 70% three stars in the O-line room at Texas. That should never happen. We have currently 4 former 4/5 stars. Whatever Flood did in the past he's a shell of himself now.
As for his recruitment, I have no idea, tbh. I vaguely remember it, but nothing about him being an asshole or not.
