Another Year, another DC

Re: Another Year, another DC

Despite that, Coach Farley and his top 3 assistants have been here together for his entire tenure.

And these are all on the offensive side of the ball. Farley controls the defense more than the offense. Just thinking in my head the defensive coaches that left, accountability and lack of work ethic do not come to mind. Yes, some have left for better opportunities, but they were definitely looking to get out of Cedar Falls. One of the many reasons I'm sure, is the abrasiveness of the head coach.

It doesn't bother me when guys move on to better jobs, but this trend of staying at the same level, hell the same league, is getting a bit worrisome...

Looks like Spack "ran off" an assistant coach, too, to leave the opening that Clark filled.

Apparently Farley isn't worried, although it's his fault.

I don't know that I would call it a fact because I do not know from any source or anthing, I just wonder with Clark if he didn't feel like he was being left behind here. He is a young guy, a great coach, and surely has aspirations of coaching some day in a BCS conference. As most of these guys do when they start out.

Spack at Illinois State, although a little older than Farley, will no doubt be the next head coach at Purdue with a couple more successful seasons at Illinois State and a vacancy. the head coaching experience is what kept him from it last time. Now he has it, is doing fairly well, and it doesn't appear that Farley is going anywhere for a while. You can be as good as a coach as you want, it takes luck, and some grabbing on to coat tails to get where you want to go sometimes. It appears that Spack's coat tails are going to be moving over the next five years, it doesn't appear that Farley's are.
