    Mark Farley's name has come up how many times with D-1 jobs? Yes it didn't work out for Terry Allen at Kansas, but he's still a better coach than Farley ever will be.
    Really? You want to trade coaches with MSU?

      Bender is right, just look at the powerhouse Terry Allen is building in Springfield.

        I'm am not sure on that, I think it is hard to compare the two, even though Allen only coached here 15 years ago, the depth of talent now a days makes winning at this level harder with more teams able to get quality player.

          Ever wonder why Allen can't win at Missouri State? I have long believed that Terry was a good manager as a head coach and his assistants did a lot of the heavy lifting from a recruiting/game planning perspective.

          Who were those assistants again? Allen was the figure head...Farley and Salmon were in the shadows doing great work as assistants.

            I never said Farley can't recruit, I'm just saying he isn't a good coach.

              Some of you guys are as crazy as the griz fans that used to complain about Hauck's championship runner ups total.

              Sometimes you're simply the 7th or 8th best team in the NATION. Some fans don't realize that and never will.

                Farley is a great coach. Its absurd to think he should go. Just ridiculous. We have won so, so very many games and conference championships under Coach Farley. We are so incredibly lucky to have what we have had under coach Farley and for the last 30 years.

                But I certainly do understand the frustration. Losing these playoff games every year, in the myriad of ways that we have lost them is just soul crushing. I can't explain it, I don't have an answer for it, and it is absolutely gut wrenching....

                  exactly....this team wasn't nearly as athletically / naturally gifted as many in the past couple decades. They did about as well as they could have this year.

                      Clearly he should not go, he is a good coach. I do wish that he learns from this game though and adjusts.

                        It's not losing those playoff games. It's HOW they lost the games. UNI has been out coached in many of those losses.

                        I can handle the losses, just not how games were lost.
                        Victory for UNI!

                          We need someone else on the Offensive headset.

                          We need Farley to stop being afraid to get beat on a blitz or on a press coverage on 3rd down.

                          That soft D works against Missouri State and Western Illinois. It doesn't work against good teams.

                          Other teams watch tape too, right? I mean we know that, right?!?!?!?!

                            This isn't year 3 or 4 of frustrating losses. Farley has been here long enough to be held accountable.

                            I hardly think it's a mere overreaction to question his coaching and members of his staff. Salmon has not exactly set the world on fire either.

                            Trust me I love watching UNI win or lose, but I think UNI shouldn't be losing in disturbing fashion to teams they should beat in the playoffs.

                            Hell, last week would have been a loss had that guy from Wofford not had 3 major brain farts.
                            Victory for UNI!

                              Too many UNI fans are just absolutely spoiled rotten by the success that we have had. I don't think a lot of people really appreciate just how incredibly difficult it is to win as many games as we have won, and to get the caliber of talent that we have got at UNI. It so unbelievably difficult to do what we have done at UNI, and to have been doing it for this long.

                              I don't have an answer as to why we can't get over the top. I just can't explain it. But what we have is really good. Some tweaks obviously need to be made somewhere, but I can't think of anyone other than Mark Farley that I would want on those sidelines right now.

                                And obviously you'd tell your sales staff, "I know you never close the big deal, but that's ok, you have racked up so many small ones, and I think you're all just great guys..."
