When will we..

Re: When will we..

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.

I've worked for Farley, I'm married to a former player, I had family work for Farley.

Re: When will we..

If we've been great this year, you've been watching with purple glasses all year. This team has struggled with offensive consistency and has had struggles on defense from time to time with certain styles of offense.

Anyone that didn't see a huge uphill battle with our offense on the road was not watching closely this year.

this.......

Re: When will we..

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.

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about

The good news is we open at Wisconsin next year.

Re: When will we..

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

For the record, I like Farley as a coach, and I remember him being a pretty good guy too. I'm NOT in favor of getting rid of him.

What I'm not in favor of is all this native NE Iowan sentiment crap. Anyone in a competitive situation who makes a decision based on that kind of thinking deserves to get his/her teeth kicked in.

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.

He makes changes every year. He needs to make more on the offensive side. I just hope the pistol offense gets shelved. I cannot handle a qb that cannot throw the ball anymore

Re: When will we..

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

This team did not overachieve this year. They are underachieving as far as I'm concerned. It's great that we were co-conference champs and made it to the final 8, but I guess I want to be a fan of a great program, not good. What do Iowa fans have to do with this? They want to win, we want to win and average isn't good enough when we get some of the talent we get. It's time to stop choking and do a little more. If that means new O-coordinator, so be it.

In response to Farley not being very personable, you are right. I know at least 15-20 players on the team personally and they admit he's a little bit of a prick. Not in a tough football coach way but in a "I am going to try and be a prick" kinda way. He likes to play mind games and players don't like that. They don't hate him, but they don't always dig the things he does.

Then you would know first hand that he puts on a much different persona in public than he does when he is behind closed doors with players and assistant coaches. The guy is a winner and is one heck of a recruiter, but he is not well liked by many that have been on staff and many players.

Is his job to be the head coach of a football team or the players best bud? Ever looked at the success rates for best bud coaches?

All of you who ready to throw out a coach who has his team in the playoffs virtually every year need a reality check (see Mike Dunbar and Earl Bruce)...

Re: When will we..

Get rid of Farley?? Teams under him are never prepared for the big games. This has been going on for years. Now we are getting blown out by a team with the same skill level as us. Also, Rennie has been ineffective all night.. why is he still in?

You have a football IQ that is equivalent to Michelle Bachmann's political IQ. Please go back to your remedial reading class.

I didn't actually play football in high school. I do coach it though and I am nowhere near the coach he is, nor will I ever be. But things need to change.

You're young so I'll be easy on you... We overachieved this year as much as any UNI team in recent memory. This team had a weak o-line, a weak passing game, subpar secondary, and no depth. 10 wins was an alright season.
