Re: Fire Farley

One of my criticisms last night is keeping your playmakers on the field on key drives.

On the tipped ball to Tyvis, I'm wondering why Malloy is not in the game there. If I were coaching you'd have to sedate me to get Malloy off the field.

Malloy + The Rock = Big Plays

Also thought Trevor Allen was coming off too much. That guys a stone cold play maker. Keep him out there as much as possible on big drives.

Didnt Malloy come out of the game before that limping ?

Re: Fire Farley

We used Malloy in so many more ways last year, now I think Trevor Allen has done some of those things but I think we could have been using Michael more in the passing game

Yes we all noticed that in our section, too.

Re: Fire Farley

Shocking ...another loss by 1 score or less....so...your going into score...and it's a close game where timeouts are very important...as a coaching staff you have to know prior to scoring if your going for 1 or 2....you score and u keep offense on field...if that was not to be...take the damn 5 yard penalty and kick..you don't call a timeout then kick...there is a history of this crap....so dumb

Re: Fire Farley

We also kicked an extra point in the fourth quarter because we had a five yard penalty. The right play was still to go for two from the 8, imho.

Yup that point couldn't be any more worthless. Go for two, I think a fg at the end would have tied it.

The lining up for two in the third quarter was stupid. Compounded by taking a timeout. You don't go for two until you have to go for two. It was dumb to do it at that point.

Clock management and pressure choices at uni prove you don't have to be smart to coach.

Re: Fire Farley

Farley continually makes comments that "no one person is bigger than the program". Maybe he needs to take a look in the mirror. Spiraling the program into the dumps without any change because you're so adamant and stuck in your ways, is in fact Coach Farey, putting yourself ahead of the program.

I agree. He micro-manages both sides of the ball and doesn't trust his staff enough to lead. He wants it his way or no way which is why we are where we are today. So many quality coaches and players alike have brought new ideas to the table or ways to improve upon our rich panther football history and he just doesn't care. He's going to continue to do what he's doing until the end...hence why we lose quality coaches because they aren't able to develop and either go somewhere where they can or are blames for Farley's BS and canned, and we lose good recruits because they talk to current and former players and decide to go elsewhere.

Down by 11, score a touchdown in the fourth quarter against a strong defensive team, line up to go for 2, 5 yard false start and you kick the extra point?? I have no idea why being down 4 vs. 5 points with an unsuccessful 2 point attempt matters; you need a touchdown either way even if the opponent kicks a field goal. Now if you are successful and get within 3, it's a whole new ballgame. A good coach goes for two there, if anything it gives you more field to run your routes.

He was kind of limping in the middle of the field and was jogging pretty normal by time he got to the sideline. Hopefully nothing that keeps him out of next game.

I'm a big fan of Rima (Grandpa) and his daily sports show.

But his white washing of the issues with the management of UNI football is getting a little hard to listen to.

College coaches are not like your typical fan. They are not presented with a scenario such as this and after five seconds make a decision. Coaches have run through these scenarios many, many times before presented in a game situation. I'm sure Coach Farley could talk for an hour on the pros and cons of the decision. Fans might be able to keep up a conversation for 20 seconds. Maybe less. I have full confidence that Coach Farley made the best decision.

Gets to a point where his homerism is laughable to the point of being government controlled war time propaganda.

Roflmao. I don't need a slide rule to know being down by four or five vs three.

Nice to have you on board Mrs. Farley.

Taking time outs on extra points and that non two point conversion was god awful. No analysis needed.

Re: Fire Farley

Luther Heggs.....are you being serious....Farley is a horrible game manager....countless times he has called timeouts on 4th down and still punted....or called timeout on an extra point and still kicked it....our 1 score losses the last 5 years is laughable. ..as you sit there you can almost tell how the game is going to play out....I would love to have a sit down with Farley and have some football talk...like him to answer why David Johnson touched the ball 9 times in a game...why Brion Carnes started at QB when he could not run or throw against Illinois St...why Dunne hasn't been starting....and countless other questions....I'm pretty sure I would hold my own....Farley is not Saban.....

Re: Fire Farley

Coach would probably answer those questions like a typical press conference question. He'd talk in a meandering path for about 3 minutes until you can't remember what the topic/question was and then wrap it up with "we just gotta find an edge".
