Joe Davis gone?

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Most assistant coach positions are stepping stones (with a few notable exceptions in Cedar Falls). That is how the industry is built. I don't think Farley/Davis were making many serious long-range plans to coach together.

I think Farley went into this year not really knowing for sure what he wanted to do on offense. Remember, we had a four-way QB competition. Davis gave him some options he wouldn't have had any other way. Seems like he choose not to use those options. Again, that seems like the nature of the business.

Right. So why is it Farley screwed Davis, when for all we know Davis could have done the same thing? We don't know how long his contract was. It may have only been a one year contract, remember he signed right before signing day last year. If he had no intention of resigning it would have made sense to leave now.

UNI has developed a habit of changing horses midstream when it comes to QBs. not really surprising that something similar happens with OCs.

Most likely. They have to post it even when they've already filled it.

I seem to remember this happening just about any time there is a coaching opening/change.

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Why would they be required to post it AFTER it's filled. Shouldn't you have to post it before it's filled?

Isn't that how the rest of the world works?

Not really

Also the coaching world is not even remotely close to the rest of the world

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Other than head coaching positions which sometimes lead to an extensive search (and sometimes don't) lower level coaches are usually just filled by a friend or relative of the head coaches, often within hours of the opening. They most likely have to post the position to show they are following EO guidelines, which they aren't, but have to give the appearance. They should post before they name the person hired. Mahaffey has been officially named Co-OC hasn't he, or are we just taking that from a reporter? What about the other Co-OC, they have not been named, so the posting could be for that position.

This is not much different from how the rest of the world works. Jobs are almost never advertised to find a person to fill the job, other than entry level factory jobs. What's a factory?

They posted the opening that Kyle Green took 3 days before the first exhibition game after he'd been out recruiting all summer. It's a formality at best.

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Jobs are legitimately posted in corporate America everyday to search for qualified candidates.

Maybe not for every single job.

But its actually very common.

If you think that only happens for "entry level factory jobs"...you've worked for the wrong employer for too long.

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Fordham hung a 9-3 record last year.

Pretty good program.

Good for him. Hope he thrives.

Shippensburg OH to Cedar Falls IA to the Bronx.

That's quite a ride.

Shippensburg is in Pennsylvania so it is an even longer journey!

Re: Joe Davis gone?

Wow! I've been off the grid for a while following men's hoops. This is a total shocker to my family and I and most of our UNI Dome tailgate crew. We had the fortune to engage with Joe Davis at a PSC event as well as with our grandkids at last summer's kid's camp and the ladies night out event in August. The consensus was that Davis was a rising star in the profession and that we were lucky to have him. Many of us commented on Davis having the make up of a successful head coach someday. Didn't we set several school record in 2015? Didn't our QB Bailey account for more TDs than any other B in school history and garner 2nd team All MVFC/newcomer of the year honors?

Most of what we know or have heard about Farley is very negative. Most former players don't have great things to say about him. I hope he did not drive Davis out. Best of luck to him at his next stop.
