When will we..

Re: When will we..

While I completely agree the "fire Farley" talk is stupid, I could really give a rat's a$$ how much of a community guy he is. That and two bucks gets you a coffee at Starbucks, and it sure as hell doesn't help you concoct a defensive scheme.

We're getting whipped tonight by a team that's dominating us at the line of scrimmage. All the NE Iowa native crap in the world won't change that. Neither will his UNI diploma.

You keep Farley around because he's a good coach, not because he fits someone's idea that only a native son should be here.

It is clear tonight that there is a talent gap between these two teams...

Re: When will we..

I did back it up. Your statements were idiotic and from someone without much perspective on the nature of FCS football. I can tell you that Farley is the LAST change that needs to be made in that program.

If you are really going to put this game on the coaching staff, you may need to revisit your education...

If you read my other posts, you'd see that it's not based on this one game. They team came out and got beat tonight. But look at Lehigh last year, look back to the Richmond game and how bad that game was managed. I'm not just pissed about tonight. What changes would you make? Again, no attack, just curiosity since I'm clearly too inept to make intelligent statements about FCS football.

YOu're wrong about the community stuff. Our fan base is fickle. I watched Dunbar at events walk right by young kids with UNI gear on that just wanted a hello or an autograph from him. You don't build a fan base that way.

Re: When will we..

There aren't many schools in the FCS that can compare to our string of success. They dream of doing what we have done the last few decades. Recognize what we have and have some appreciation. Yes, we've never had a championship. I can tell you that Farley wants it as much or more than you, I, and everyone else on this board.

I don't know how it was in the Dunbar days, but our fan base is pathetic right now. Absolutely pathetic..

I'm more disturbed by our lack of playing to potential. I know it's not the coaches who play, but we just look straight unprepared for many of these and the man doesn't know how to use a timeout.

Re: When will we..

Stein nailed it. Being a UNI guy doesn't make you untouchable.

This is another embarrassing performance manufactured by Farley and Co.

Its time to seriously look at where the program is.

If I really must break it down for you...

Tonight - Montana is clearly better. Period.

Lehigh - Players have to play. That team was unmotivated, felt slighted, and overlooked that team. Coaches can only do so much.

Richmond - Farley's only error here wasn't taking over offensive play calling during the second half.

Some of you need to be careful what you wish for.

Yep. Time to jump to the FBS...

Re: When will we..

Unfortunately as the head coach Farley gets and possibly deserves all the heat. There may be changes needed on the assistant level, but if Farley is unwilling to do that then I can see why people would want to see someone else running the program.

Re: When will we..

Salmon needs to go and many have been saying that for nearly a decade now...he is NOT a good offensive coordinator. No vision whatsoever and has wasted more talent than I even want to think about.

Farley needs to hand the defensive coordinator over to someone he trusts and butt out/focus on recruiting. This 'bend but don't break' stuff is disgusting. Go out and dominate the line of scrimmage! We play soft and it is disgusting to watch.

It is a miracle that this team won 10 games this year and frankly I am happy with the record. I am NOT pleased with the way we played all year though. We did not dominate a game the way we should all season.

So every year getting beat due to this or that is never on the head coach? Montana isn't 48-10 better than us? If so, he is not as good as we say he is. Lehigh was not good last year and we came out flat. No changes were made to adjust anything. Did you not watch the Richmond game? He was so conservative and wasted our timeouts. I remember that game because it was so poorly coached in the 2nd half.

Montana is better period.
This team overacheived this year.....

What do you want to look at exactly in terms of where the program is?

Once again they had a share of the conference title. Did they suck tonight? Yes but they are once again in the final 8. Alot of you people who dont have a clue are overreacting.

Starting to sound like Iowa fans

Re: When will we..

Farley is a UNI guy. He loves the community, he's proud of the school, and he wins consistently. Changes need to be made elsewhere -- but not with the head guy.

Farley is not a personable guy and isn't loved by his players. I know for a fact he was a total ass to Eric Sanders when he played there. It wasn't Farley that wanted Sanders on his staff this year either.

I think if you talk to former players they will tell you Mark Farley was not a great guy.
