We do not want Mike Woodley anywhere near this job, and Frost is so far above being a coordinator at UNI right now its not even funny. Frost would be a candidate for HC at UNI or possible competition at Ball or NIU.

I wouldn't be happy if Farley left for NIU or Ball State but I could support it and wish him well. If he left for Iowa State after Paul Rhodes takes the Pitt job then I would have steam coming out of my ears.

This.... Couldn't have said it better.

Why wouldn't you go after a coach that has had continued success DIV II such as as Grand Valley State, Valdosta, or Sioux Falls (NAIA) for that matter as opposed to Grandview's coach?

probably, that was the first name i came up with in 5 whole seconds of thinking about it.

Re: Farley to NIU?

What about going after a guy like Scott Frost? Bill Inge? We have had some good assistants come through the past 10 years, I would ever think someone like Jerry Montgomery could be a possible D-Coordinator for one of those people. With someone like Frost on the recruiting trail with our facilities, going after the athletes that we would go after, we could be lethal.

I do not think Frost is a guy that is ready to be a head coach. And even if he was, I think UNI would simply be another stepping stone for him.

Terry Allen.

Terry Allen.

Rennie doesn't have a big enough arm to toss those 70 yard pass plays that Allen builds his offense around.

At least he did the first go-round at UNI.

Re: Farley to NIU?

i mentioned frost in another thread and people seemed to think he wasnt close to ready

Re: Farley to NIU?

Looking at our current staff, I don't see many possibilities.... What are thoughts on Chris Klienman?

Re: Farley to NIU?

If UNI is a stepping stone for Mark Farley and Terry Allen it is a stepping stone for anyone. A head coach is becoming more and more like a figure head with each passing season of college football. How could a guy like Frost present himself to the media, to recruits, athletes, etc...I would say 75-80% of x' and o's are done with coordinators and position coaches. For example, they will put together the plan, and present it to the HC. I would love to see them get someone like Frost, also, with Frost, we know if any of our players go ape $hit he can pull them off.

If Farley leaves I would say we get some fresh blood. Seems like the other member schools are finding some good candidates in the past few years, and they suck and have a fraction of the tradition that UNI does.

Re: Farley to NIU?

Recruiting is the name of the game, anymore. I think Frost would be good.
