No problem. Farley is simply a victim of his own success. He has raised expectations so high that nothing less than a National Championship is considered falling short. Add in the budget problems and he is in a tough situation. I'm just afraid that UNI's days of dominating the MVFC are over.

good, then we can move to the MAC in the next few years and let the remaining teams fight it out.

i do like whomever compared it to Tom Davis and Iowa basketball

Because one year UNI didn't win or tie for the conference championship or make the play-offs? Who's expectations are too high?

What is your solution, accepting mediocrity?

Re: What if the post asked: "Is it time to discuss a change?"

Madcat, I think a good follow up to starting this thread would be for you to put your AD hat on and go through your point-by-point annual review of Farely, state your objectives of the position, state your expectations from management to obtain a minimal rating of Meets Expectation by the employee to the stated objectives of the position. State facts of the job done. Grade each category.
For example:
-Fails to Meet Expectations of the position
-Needs Improvement
-Meets Some, but not All Expectations of the position
-Meets All Expectations of the position
-Exceeds All Expectations of the position
-Far Exceeds Expectations of the position.
Or put whatever grading system in place you want, may be Tony can give you the actual Mid-Year and Annual Employee Review he uses.

You have stirred a pot and left the scene. It's time for you to come back and defend your position. A good facilitator of a conversation NEVER throws out a topic and then walks out of the room. A strong facilitator presents a topic and nurtures the conversation good, bad or indifferent. Right now you're not a very good facilitator.

As much as I would not want this I think we have to move to fbs . Financially it may be the best way to stay relevant. Let Farley move us to the mac and see what happens from there.

Try re-reading my post. I stated my reasons for my OPINION and none of them mentioned having one bad year. There is a lot of room between dominating the conference and mediocrity, I just think in the future, with the new look MVFC, Farley falls somewhere in the middle. And did you just accuse me of having both expectations that are too high and accepting mediocrity? Admittingly it is too small of a sample size but we are 1-3 Vs. the X-Dak's the last two years and how long will it be until we beat YSU eleven straight times or ISU-b will go 2+ years without a conf. win? And once again, I'm not advocating firing Farley but people who think we can't be critical of him are just plain wrong.

Actually we are 2_2 against the dakota schools the last two years, with a game against a very bad usd team yet this year...

5-2 if you go back to the last three seasons

You are correct. I can't believe that disaster in the muddy cow pasture was that long ago. Boy am I getting old. But enough of the negative talk, we have a one game winning streak to talk about.

I see no one in Blacksburg, VA is asking for Frank Beamer's head on a platter.

Chizik won a Championship at Auburn, won a bowl game the next year, and is now going to get fired.

Just sayin...

Re: What if the post asked: "Is it time to discuss a change?"

Again...

You're free to ask "Should we look to change coaches"

The second question you should ask should be "Who do we get"


If the answer isn't a clear cut "home run" type guy....the answer to question 1 is no

Auburn spent more money on CFB last year than any school. He's in trouble like it or not....

That's the problem with college athletics. Everyone wants to win every year...and that just doesn't happen. I like our coaching staff and consistent legacy of winning.

I hope the Lakers fall on their face the rest of the season for their knee-jerk reaction.
