He is a really good guy in my book. Was a former assistant for Schiano @ Rutgers. Took the HC job at Florida Int'l. U a few years ago. Has had some success at FIU and now gets the promotion if this is true. No shortcuts by Mario. He is working his way up.

Would be the logical choice

Didn't happen.

Kyle Flood takes over at Rutgers


PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- After a hasty search, Rutgers found a replacement for Greg Schiano in one of his proteges.

Longtime assistant Kyle Flood is getting his first shot at running a college football program, replacing his former boss with the Scarlet Knights.

Good luck Rutgers. Is this a " continue the program by hiring from within ", or "save the recruiting class", or "no one else wanted the job" ?

Mario Cristobal went to Rutgers to talk terms and said never mind. Makes me wonder if the Cuban / American community, that is the power structure at FIU, induced Mario to stay put. Turning down a Big East Conference coaching gig to remain at A Sun Belt Conference school raises unanswered questions.
