When will we..

Re: When will we..

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)...

No freaking kidding.

This is football for God's sake. This is the nature of the game. Head football coaches at winning programs all over the country since the beginning of time have been A-holes.

Seriously, the Panthers have to compete with a lot of FBS teams. Montana, not so much. You guys have a good coach and a good team, build on it. Don't let it get torn down by changing coaches.

Re: When will we..

Farley has a great winning percentage however in the FCS level it is winning championships that matter if you want true national respect. Unfortuantly we have become the Cubs of FCS, we make the playoffs but never win it. While I do appreciate Farleys roll in the community, it some of the rumors behing the scene that concern me. Our season ends short of where we wanted it but like the Cubs Wait til next Year. Go Panthers

Oh yeah I forgot why I never post on here

I call BS on this post/poster. The Cubs of FCS?? WTF. You have no idea what you're talking about. The cubs are lucky to make the play-offs every once-in-five-or-so years. UNI is in the play-offs every freaking year. It is the very, very off year that UNI does not make the play-offs and a miricle season for the Cubs to just make it in and then swept. You obviously have no clue...must be a Hawk fan.

Correct, Montana, the states "flagship" program should be playing with Wyo, Colo State etc.. in the Mountain West or even WAC, but won't because they like being the big fish in a small pond. If Montana had to compete against their western state neighbors on a level playing field things would be much different.

Re: When will we..

Hardest part for me is the huge boost to recruiting we could have gained tonight.

Please, enlighten us. Who did UNI lose tonight in the recruiting wars?

Re: When will we..

I'm just curious how long we will settle for great regular seasons and then nothing in the playoffs. I don't expect UNI to win it all every year or anything, but we consistently show up unprepared for big games. Why is he not on the hot seat?

Goddamnit, when will you knuckleheads get it thru your heads?
This isn't broken FBS/BCS sh!t.

THIS IS FCS. This is football for men. We play a lot of "big games". A big game, is every playoff game. You have to play to prove you're the national champion.
You don't get the record Farley has by "consistently showing up unprepared for big games", nor especially have a season like 2005.

Farley is a treasure of UNI, and I'll crucify the children of any man who says otherwise.

Re: When will we..

I don't know. A solid regular season with a nice trip somewhere to play a glorified exhibition game doesn't sound too bad. I think I would probably take every bowl city over places like Missoula, Newark, DE, and Charleston, IL. Plus, a month to plan to get there instead of six days might be nice...

Really dude .... learn to read. He's spot on with his post. When any school gets a stand alone game, with the entire sports world watching, you have to take adavantage of it. UNI definitely didn't do that. I don't think any recruits were lost but none were gained; the operative word in his post.

Iowa State capitalized when they were given the exact same opportunity. If anyone says Iowa State didn't gain a big boost in recruiting with that win is delusional. UNI missed out big time on this golden opportunity.

Re: When will we..

i'm just tired of our offense moving the ball early in games fairly easily, but as soon as a defense makes adjustments we refuse to change anything up and then get shut down.

Exactly. The posters on here who think Farley and/or the coaching staff can do no wrong and then scream and hurl insults at those who beg to differ need to get over their butthurt. That first quarter team last night disappeared and was replaced by a lesser team in the last three quarters IMO. It seems like the same criticisms of Salmon appear on this board every season around this time for the last few years now. I'm not going so far as to advocate for Farley being canned, but I think a change at OC could be a step in the right direction.

Good post and 100% accurate IMO.

Re: When will we..

I can't believe this is how some of our fans take out their disappointment. To be upset and frustrated is one thing...to be ignorant, stupid and blind is another.

Good post. I don't think it is overreacting, at all, to say that changes have to be made. After watching NDSU manhandle Lehigh 24-0 I think you can cross "winning the MVFC title almost every year" off the list of Farley's accomplishments. And what's this talk about UNI overachieving this year? Didn't they do that last year? Sounds like he can't recruit enough elite athletes (for FCS) or he can't coach. Which is it? Hope you are excited for 5,000 people in the dome for a first round play-off loss next year. It appears that a lot of you will be satisfied with that. I'm out.

Re: When will we..

And what's this talk about UNI overachieving this year? Didn't they do that last year? .

When UNI lost to Lehigh last year, coach did make some pretty frank comments about how 2010 the goal was just to get the team a taste of the playoffs and 2011 was the year they were really positioned for success with the players he had.

That does make it hard to say a quarterfinal loss is overachieving.
