Rutgers’s interim coach holds eccentric press conference
Typically, a head coach begins his postgame press conference with an opening statement before opening the floor to the media to ask questions.
Flood will miss upcoming contests against Kansas – a Big 12 opponent that already lost to a Division I-AA opponent – next week and No. 2 Michigan State on October. 10.
Rutgers interim head coach Norries Wilson held an odd press conference after the team’s 28-3 loss to Penn State.
On Sunday, Wilson started his day-after-game media teleconference by apologizing for the way he came off in the post-game news conference late Saturday night.
Norries Wilson has been interviewed in a public setting three times since being appointed Rutgers’ interim head coach in the wake of the three-game suspension handed down on head coach Kyle Flood.
“The program isn’t out of control”. Without Carroo, a dazzling talent when on the field, Laviano overthrew receivers and failed to move the chains. “We’re not gonna do that”, Wilson said, as he proceeded to call on media members like a teacher would a student.
Backup Hayden Rettig would replace Laviano if a switch is made. “I didn’t put Rettig in” – was countered by some candid moments. He was then asked whether he had the authority to make the change.
He sat down with Rutgers football announcers Chris Carlin and Eric LeGrand last Wednesday while filling in for Flood on the Scarlet Knights coach’s radio show.
To make it clear who was up next, Wilson said things like, “Gentleman with the glasses behind the guy with the checkered shirt”.
