Kyle Flood is a veteran offensive line coach and a highly respected figure in college football, with a wealth of experience across multiple top-tier programs. He was named the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Texas after spending the previous two seasons (2019-2020) coaching the offensive line at Alabama under head coach Nick Saban. During his time at Alabama, Flood helped lead the offensive line to the prestigious 2020 Joe Moore Award as the nation’s top offensive line unit. His work contributed to one of the most prolific offenses in Alabama history, propelling the team to a National Championship victory. Under his guidance, Alabama’s offense set multiple records, including a school-record passing efficiency rating and the second-best mark in NCAA history. Additionally, the team set a major college football record by scoring 35 or more points in 24 consecutive games, the longest streak in Power 5 history.
Before joining Alabama, Flood had a successful tenure as the head coach at Rutgers, where he made a significant impact in a short amount of time. In his first three seasons, he became the first head coach in Rutgers history to lead the program to three bowl appearances. His inaugural season as head coach in 2012 was particularly remarkable, as he led the Scarlet Knights to their first-ever Big East Championship, earning Big East Coach of the Year honors and setting a school record for most wins by a rookie head coach. Under Flood’s leadership, Rutgers became a competitive force in the Big East, and his development of the program set the foundation for future success.
Flood’s coaching expertise is deeply rooted in his experience as an offensive line coach, a position he has excelled in throughout his career. His ability to develop top-tier offensive lines that dominate both in the running game and in protecting the quarterback has been a hallmark of his coaching style. His work at Alabama and Rutgers showcased his skills in both program management and player development, making him a highly valued addition to the coaching staff at Texas. Flood’s success on the field and his proven ability to build powerful, disciplined offensive lines will undoubtedly play a key role in Texas’ future offensive success.
