    Re: Farley to NIU?

    Scott Frost has been a full fledged assistant coach for a whopping 4 seasons and you think he's a good candidate to be a head coach at the D-1 level?

    What are you guys thinking with that?

      Is there anything more to this than speculation?

        I could care less about the number of years. I care about experience. The guy experienced 2 different collegiate programs as a student, 5 systems as a professional player, and coached in 4 D1 programs (2 as GA). I would argue that the guy has termendous experience in comparision to when Farley was hired. Heck, Farley has never been a coordinator and only experienced 2 programs/systems his entire career. That seemed to work out okay for us....

        I would say he has the resume for the job. However, if I were doing the hiring, he'd have to blow me away during the interview. The resume shows that he never stays in one location more than 2 years. That would be a major concern that he would have to address.

        Now that I've explained my position, what do you have against the guy????

          I have heard, from what I consider a very reliable source, that Farley has indeed interviewed for both the Ball State and NIU jobs. I would guess both would be naming their coaches sometime next week.

          If Farley ends up leaving, I would put my money on us hiring Klieman.

              I just don't see the Klieman thing panning out. I see him interviewing the way slick Willy did in 2001. Kind of a player favorite, not good interview. Could you imagine how that would have worked out if he would have been the HC the last 9 seasons?

                If he is interviewing for the BSU HC, he must want out. I just don't see what would attract him to that job other than a desire to move on.

                While I'd put money on Klieman being a UNI HC at some point, I question if his time is now. I envision him interviewing, not getting the job, going with Farley, and coming back to replace Farley's replacement (whenever that is).

                  Sometimes you interview, just to interview.

                    Exactly...although some coaches do it to get a bump in salary from their current employer...but I'm pretty sure Farley understands the financial situation at UNI and is interviewing because he is looking to move on.

                      I had a smart friend remind me, that Farley makes more than any coach in the MVFC and UNI also has the highest paid assts.....just sayin

                        Gonzocat sure would enjoy going to games a whole lot more.

                            If Farley were to leave, here is another guy I'd like to see get a shot.

                            http://www.buffalobulls.com/sports/fball/coaches/inge_william


                            He's been east coast, west coast, mid-America, professional experience, and from St. Louis originally...and he's a former UNI assistant.

                                What best qualifies someone as being "head coaching material". (honest question) What are people looking for in a head coach?
