It is unfortunate that the Panthers are heading down a familiar road again this season, but not surprising.
The HC is responsible for the personality and performance of his team. Period. People ***** about offensive play calling, and possibly rightfully so. They ***** about giving up too many big plays and the freshman coaches kid playing, possibly rightfully so.
What's really wrong- the HC. He instills no discipline in his team. He is in it for himself, not the young men on the team, assistant coaches, or the school, no matter what he says. It's unfortunate how he has changed since the walk-on from Waukon.
Win at all cost but not willing to lead and teach. Think not only of the 16 penalties v Iowa, but the 4 last weekend against SDSU. He picks and chooses which young men he treats with respect, and which he doesn't. There is a clear reason he loses most of the players in the locker room every year. This approach dates back to when he was a young assistant ie Andre Allen v Boston.
If UNI ever wants to be a real competitor on the national 1-AA scene, they need to shop for a new leader, and unfortunately not sure we have $$ to do so.
