Loss of respect for Farley

[Big Poppa Pump]

I had heard a lot of crap about Coach Farley, namely how much he works his assistant coaches and how poorly he treats them, promised raises for team perfomance that were never given, etc. Anyway, I was sitting at a wedding reception this week end and Coach Klieman was there and the current coaching staff was told NOT to talk to Coach Klieman by Farley, I also watched Coach Farley physically walk by Chris and not even acknowledge him. I talked to Chris and he has no clue what was going on, he went as far as to say that Farley has never talked to him since he signed to leave to North Dakota. Talk about a lack of class, in checking the UNI employee salaries, Farley's salary seems to rise every year, his assistants do not, a gag order to talk with a former coach and Panther alumni, I am curious as to what secrets a coach would reveal to Coach Klieman. Chris Klieman is one of our own, hometown hero, Panther alumni, Panther coach, he deserves better than this, the community deserves better from our head coach. Nelly and others have tried to leave because the working environment is so bad, and all the while the while Coach Farley continues to watch his salary rise and his class lower!

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

I find your post to be a little "emotional." First off, if Chris didn't know why anyone wasn't talking to him (supposedly) then he needs to open his eyes. He doesn't have to agree with it, if it were true, but he would have to know what was going on. (I don't agree with it, if it were true) Second off, you really think none of the assistant coaches didn't talk to him? You think Sanders didn't talk to him? Nelly? What you think Nelly didn't talk to him in the receiving line after the wedding? Come on, I get that you are upset, I also get that Farley might have said something. But I can assure you, there was no "formal directive" given to not talk to him, are MANY, if not most of the things you speak of Farley true, absolutely, is this? No.

What do you expect? If you want to be a buffalo chip, people will step over you like you are a buffalo chip! He now what Brett Bielema is to Hawkeye fans--just another doosch trying to help a competitor beat us.

Farley's act is wearing thin, IMO.

The only thing saving him is results, if he were to have a subpar season, I am not sure the leash is very long. There are also some fairly high level boosters that he has alienated in the past three years, we are lucky to have Jake around to balance him out...

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

The personal stuff counts for something, but the monetary aspect is more important. A promised raise that doesn't come through gets to the heart of why you're there, and why you should leave if it doesn't happen. That all assumes that what you said is true...I have no way of knowing one way or the other.

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

The assistant coaches said there was a directive from the head coach to not speak with Coach Klieman, I did see several of the assistants talk to Chris and vice versa. It was never stated that no coaches talked to Coach Klieman, it was stated that the assistant coaches were told to not talk to him, THAT DID HAPPEN. This is not personal, like you make it out to be STEIN PIZZA, it seems more personal from your end. I simply stated facts, if you do not believe it, ask the assistant coaches, maybe they were lying. Bottom line is that in college football you are only as good as your assistant coaches, and personally I have always liked Mark, that does not mean I agree with the way he treats his coaches.

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

I think our defense is going to better this year. Mainly because it seems Klieman is whiney little dude because people don't talk to him. Maybe I'm being hard on him because of Big's man crush and trying to protect his crushee. Klieman is a douche in my book. Plus he is a job hopper. He will be in hell for one or two seasons.

This seems to be a case of jilted man crush guy.

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

Only douche here is you 1988, I guess what you term a crush, I term respect for players and coaches who have done the job at UNI. It sounds to me like Klieman hit you too hard, beat you out for a position, or stole your girlfriend, he would not steal your boyfriend. Just tried to make a point that the Coach Farley is getting a little "off the hook" with his treatment of his staff. You took this to new, odd, personal levels.

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

If being a "nice" guy was a requirement for being a good coach....there would be almost no good coaches in any sport.

Most of the real good head coaches are OCD, controlling, not afraid to tell it like it is (to anyone at any time), and could probably be described as an ass in private - yet almost all of them are very good at putting on a very good public face.

You show me a coach who is "nice" and I'll show you a coach who is happy to finish at .500


Are most of the rumors about Farley being an ass true? Yep, this has been confirmed many times by many parties.

Has there been a more successful coach at UNI? Not really. Farley is 3rd all time in win % in UNI coaching history for coaches who have coached more than 1 or two seasons (Allen 74%, Mudra 73%, Farley 71%). Farley has led UNI to the second most conference titles of any coach (1 shy of TA), more playoff games than any other coach, more national title games than any other coach, better recruiting classes, more wins over FBS teams (I believe, could be wrong), etc... than any other coach in UNI history.


Farley fits the mold for successful coaches, it just rubs a lot of people the wrong way to hear that a coach isn't the same in private with the team as he is with the media.

Re: Loss of respect for Farley

The Athletic Director does payroll and raises. There has to be money to give raises. Is the football budget higher this year?

You don't want another head coach. Trust me.
