Klieman to Minnesota wasn't a real worry.
Klieman to Western Michigan will be a worry.
Lots of Wisconsin guys on NDSU staff that would recruit well in that area.
I'm surprised at PJ Fleck hire since I am a Minnesota Gopher season ticket holder...
NDSU/UNI are routinely better than MAC teams.
I wouldn't say routinely better. The MVC schools would struggle with most of the MAC right now. Has been and will continue to be a tough conference with great football. I feel the same about the MVC too...for the record.
If his name was Joe Smith everybody would be raving about what a great hire he was. Time in the NFL and with Belichick and a P5 OL coach by age 30. He'll be really good because he's the one guy Kirk will give some leeway to.
Klieman may not be going to Minnesota but Paup is. Buddies with Fleck I guess. Good move for him but another great coach gone and huge loss for the UNI program. Now Farley has at least 3 holes to fill on the coaching staff...should be an interesting next few weeks.

That is a great move for him if true, and very tough for UNI. Farley will have a hard time finding a guy with the ability to coach up players like Paup seemed to have. Good news is there's a few returning starters in that group.
Paup is the lone bright spot from our staff the last 4 years. Excellent coach that flat out produced, you can clearly see his impact on the program. I consider him to be virtually irreplacable.
We are headed down a long dark path to the abyss, I'm afraid.

This is as down as I've felt about our football and basketball programs at the same time as I can remember. Somebody give me some positives that I can hold onto until things get better.
Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
Victory for U-N-I!
Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

Basketball is just having a reset year. The scholarship imbalance and youth have caught up, there are a lot of good pieces there. They just have to buy in to playing hard all the time.
Football, man, I just can't offer any words that may be comforting. I'll leave that for others...
I am not making light of this news on Paup. If true, he is an excellent coach and we've been very lucky to have him.
That being said, our defense has never really been a problem - it wasn't prior to Paup coming, and I'm not worried about it after Paup leaves. Our offense is where our struggles are.
"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

It's getting harder to buy in to your comment about the pieces being there with each additional loss. If the pieces are there, I think Jake would be closer to putting those pieces together by now. This team has had the doors blown off in every conference game so far and only one of those teams was worth a damn.
