Re: Time for a Change

We need a new head coach. Players do not respect him (and never have), other coaches laugh at him, and he continues to place blame on everything but himself. He is responsible for two of the three losing seasons that UNI has had since the 60's. Wish Dannon had the stones to do something about the sad state of UNI football.

Other coaches laugh at him? What side of whose @$$ did you pull that one out of. If you don't think this program is respected across FCS and ESPECIALLY in the MVFC, you are naive. UNI is one of the premiere FCS programs. That is an absolute fact.


Farley takes the blame every time. Coaches always do. He has sat there and said he should have done a better job preparing the guys. I've been 5 feet away from him multiple times while he has said this.

And for the love of God, learn to spell your AD's name.

Re: Time for a Change

I've been following DL and LB progress since Boothby and AJ- glad to see AJ at Cleveland Browns.

So....you've been following the progress for....what...a year or two? Boothby, as great as he was, was only a force for his JR and SR year.

Who is AJ?


For being such a fan/former player apparently you don't follow the team real close.

Re: Time for a Change

If you don't believe this program is respected, take a look at how many votes we STILL got this week for the top-25.

Re: Time for a Change

I laugh at Farley. He makes some pretty good jokes at the media luncheon or during the call-in show sometimes. (but I'm not a coach)

So much for my bad memory. What I really meant was unmet expectations fit 3 of the 4 years, ok?

Jay, now your challenge is who in FCS/FBS beats UNI for 41 of 52 winning seasons since 1960?

Re: Time for a Change

Hey Kool-Aid drinkers, please honestly answer two questions regarding Farley's tenure:
1. Have the players had an experience that created in them a sense of Panther Pride?
2. Is the program better off now than when he took over in the spring of 2001?

I will start: no and no.

How many national championship games have the Panthers been to before farley? Was it the pecan bowl, or something like that back in the early 60's? Other than that, nothing comes to mind.

Success takes talent, coaching, schedule & good luck. Luck is probably bigger component than most would figure.

That said, farley needs to be less involved involved in defense and more involved in offense. Unlikely to happen, though.

The program is FAR better than when Dunbar ran it into the ground. I don't completely disagree with some of your premises, but this one is absurd.

You sir are an idiot. I have sat by and watched your posts, not sure if you are someone who didn't get enough playing time by Farley, or more likely someone who's kid is not playing enough under him now. Either way you have brought some points up that can't be denied. That’s why I haven't stepped in before. Are there coaches and players who don't like Farley, absolutely. Going to happen in any program.

I played under Farley, during a time when many had played under his predecessor as well. Did I have a huge roll? No. Was I an all American? No. Even a starter? Nope. However, I will tell you this, I was inside and a part of the program as a player. Even to this day I have managed to stay closer to the program than many. To answer your questions the answer is yes to both.

There is not one player that has played under Farley that hasn't had an opportunity to embrace the program and become a "Panther." If they have not, they are the ones to blame, not Farley. Even those that I know that have not, and do not see eye to eye with Farley understand his passion for UNI and have grown their own.

Is the program in a better place now than in 2001? No, 2001 it was in a great place, resurrected from the grave by none other than Mark Farley. Has it had its ups and downs since then? Yes, that is caused by expectations. Expectations that have been created by none other than Mark Farley. Without success in 2001, the expectation, then disappointment doesn't happen of 2002. The list goes on and on. We are a program with NFL players, not one, but several, facilities that rival many FBS programs, exposure, attendance numbers, national rankings, and most importantly expectations.

When we walk into a Big Eleven Stadium its not for a paycheck, its for a victory. I'm not talking about ISU, or an occasional pick up game against a K State program that has won a game in 3 years.

These are all in place because of Mark.

Do I wish things would change a bit, sure? Have I been critical? Sure. But this "he needs to go" stuff is stupid, all of your accusations are simply matters of opinion. An opinion that I would guess is slighted by a loved one on the team. Probably a linebacker seeing’s how that is the only position you criticize, and seem to know about. Best of luck to whoever your kid is, I hope he has half the experience being a panther that I did, only if you allow it of course. This isn’t high school dad. Get over it and get off the freaking message board.

Nobody on this board is an idiot nor should be subjected to name calling! It's absolutley right to disagree with one's posting or opinion but we should disagree respectfully. Most importantly, it's healthy to have vigorous discourse and maybe we can learn something from each other's posting. All of us love and want the best for the PANTHERS.
GO PANTHERS!!

Re: Time for a Change
