Coaching Shake-up

[Purrrrrfect]

I just now noticed this...well in the last few minutes.

Beliema out at Wisky..for...ARKANSAS??? Gross. Thats almost as bad as Miles taking that crappy job leaving ISU (b).

And App. St. coach Jerry Moore is no longer the coach at ASU.
(www.goasu.com).

Many speculate (on ags and other sites) that the new AD at ASU "forced" Jerry out...apparently the two of them along with the chancellor had a chat after last season and kept it a secret ALL year this year.

Any other big shake ups...keep em comin!

Re: Coaching Shake-up

Saban, Miles, Sumlin, Malzahn, Bielema, and Mullen are now all in the same DIVISION. Crazy stacked.

Poor Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss...

Alvarez is also retiring next year, by moving he knows who his boss is. He doesn't have that luxury in Madison.

He also lost 6 assistants last year, makes you wonder if there are some compensation issues there...

Just playing devils advocate

Re: Coaching Shake-up

wisconsin was 7-5 this year. they really got pretty lucky even the prior two years. OSU and michigan are going to dominate for the foreseeable future. take the money.

7 years from HS to a SEC team that won the NC 3 years ago. Wow. That's crazy. Good luck - don't spend all the money upfront.

Re: Coaching Shake-up

He did exactly what all high level coaches should do--never stay more than 7-10 years. He probably maxed out what he could do at Wisconsin. It was only a matter of time before it got stale, and whatever he did there wouldn't be considered "good enough". Its exactly what happened at Iowa with Ferentz. Its stale, he's stale, the whole program has plateaued and everyone's pissed off and annoyed. When you make the Rose Bowl 3 years in a row, like Bielema has, expectations I'm sure are/will be unrealistically through the roof.

Time to move on to a new challenge, and more money, while playing in the absolute highest level of college football in the SEC. I wonder if he got any Wisconsin tattoos before he left?...

Re: Coaching Shake-up

Your plateau argument sounds really, really familiar...

How long has Farley been here??

I know, I was going to throw that in there as an example as well, but I decided not to because Farley is still winning at a high level (other than this year).

But it still fits the theory, I agree. Its gotten to a point where Farley can't do anything that pleases some people unless it is a national title. Win so much for so long, people take it for granted, and expectations are just so high.

Re: Coaching Shake-up

I agree totally. His national title window is closed, it closed in 2009. I think he understands that as well, I think thats why we are seeing the big push for FBS.

I think we can all agree if we can go FBS and win 7-8 games a year and go to a bowl game most years that we will all be pretty satisfied, no??

Re: Coaching Shake-up

I will be satisfied with whatever stabilizes our football program, and our athletic department as a whole. Whether that is staying as is in FCS, or whether that means going FBS and sacrificing some wins. I want whatever is best for the long term future of UNI football and UNI athletics. I want us to be successful, but more than anything else, I want UNI's athletic and football futures to be viable and sustainable.
