Joe Davis gone?

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Farley in a fundraising role? Serious? You have to have a personality and a genuine like of people to do that. Not his MO.

He'd excel in that role. Look at the work he did when he was interim AD and look at the football specific donations. It's his after coaching future.

Re: Joe Davis gone?

I have no doubt Farley has been calling the shots on offense. When offensive coaches leave and the system (or problems) still remains, it eventually will point to one person. That comment by Davis last season when he had to ask Farley who the QB was confirmed that Davis was on the outside looking in.

Hopefully with Salmon in place, we can go back to the years of a strong offensive line and a solid offense. He has been there for 29+ years, so I would guess retirement should be looming in the short future. Maybe Mahaffey is part of the changing of the guard. But if Farley continues the trend of meddling in the offensive playbook, it could be an ongoing rotation of OCs.

Seems that these moves are solidifying Farley's personal control of the offense. Like it or not, at least we have a unified coaching staff.

He is a very good fundraiser. Do you know otherwise?

Farley does very well, in my experience, at fundraising/PSC events

Hmmm. Seems like some posters with actual relevant information are contradicting the uninformed opinions of some of the rest of us. Thanks.

Farley spoke at PSC kickoff tonight and I was ready to suit up for him myself. He does a phenomenal job.

Whats new for PSC this year?

Re: Joe Davis gone?

And this part of the article hasn't been discussed... Thoughts?


"Additionally, Farley said one or two of his current assistants are being sought by FBS schools."

Who's it more likely to be: Paup, Johnson, Lynch or Oguntodu?

That's fine if he makes it clear to all who are looking at coming to UNI to either play or coach. I just felt bad for Davis who's offensive scheme obviously was way out of Farley's comfort zone. Would Davis have come here if he knew that he would be stifled with his playcalling?

Assistant coaches move around a lot. Having UNI on his resume will probably be good for him, regardless of how it went here.

Ditto. He can do it.

"His scheme was out of Farley's comfort zone". WTF?!?!? How could he not have known in advance???? That's like saying I need to hire someone to work on an aeronautical engineering project...so I think I'll bring in that school janitor I've met. BS, it doesn't work that way. Farley had to have known all about his scheme going in. Forwards, backwards, sideways, etc.

Barring further info, I feel bad for Davis. On the surface, it serms like he got screwed.

I'd have to agree with this sentiment.

Coach Davis came to UNI in good faith to install a scheme that he and MF agreed to and now he's looking for a job. This was not a positive event in his career. And not a shining moment for UNI athletics administration.

I'm positive the mob killed Kennedy and the Appollo astronauts did not walk on the moon and "one small step" was staged on a movie production studio.

I agree that Farley did know what he was getting with Davis. But I also believe that once he saw it in action, it wasn't an offense he was comfortable with. That's his choice as head coach, but I feel Davis did get screwed coming here and then being put on the backburner. I'll be curious to see how this will affect UNI's ability to bring in other OCs when Farley wants a new one to run his offense in the future.

As for your comparison, Davis isn't the high school janitor. It would be more like you wanting to build a modern engineering project, hire an expert in that field, then you got disoriented by all the techno talk and graphics, and you decide to go back to the simple toggle switches and green and red flashing lights. And in some cases simpler isn't always a bad thing.
