Fire Farley

[run&blade]

How quick would change come if the dome sold out every game?

How quick would change come if 5000 come to each game?

That is why I hope 5000 come, the program obviously needs to crater to get the administration do what needs to be done.

I hope to get awful, so they can get good again.

Oh my gawd.....stop talking.

please share with us, what do you think is wrong and what will fix it. Already turned over the entire coaching staff, all that is left is the coach himself.

If UNI wants to be pretend to play big time football than it is time to start acting like it and make changes. If we are just suppose to be happy the sun came up and donate to UNI maybe they should look into joining the Iowa Conference and sing Kumbaya with the rest of DIII.

I agree.....sick of hearing Farley at press conferences tell us how close they are......close to what??? Only thing i see the program close to is being totally irrelevant.
I as a long time fan do not want to see the program bottom out....BUT....it seems like that is what it is going to take....

So, and this is just the last two (I think) years, if they're going to let coaches leave/coahces leave I would like to see those spots filled in the early spring, if not earlier. They cannot wait to fill those spots, or have spots come available in the summer. That's just inexcusable and very nearly irresponsible.

I know that this is a fairly minor thing, but I kind of feel like it sums up where the program is as a whole. Can't keep/bring in good coaches, not going to be able to have a well-coached team.

Good Point.

What kid of coaches are still available in July and August. Hint: Not ones that are well thought of or are crazy young.

I totally agree with an earlier post in regards to Farley looking and sounding totally lost during his Monday press conference. He helped take the program to great heights, but I believe he is finally starting to see the end is near for him as he does not seem to have an answer as to how to turn things back around. I have absolutely no idea where the money would come from for a buyout, but this is the first opportunity to really see what David Harris is made of, and whether or not he is willing to risk further eroding this program by keeping MF around until the end of his contract. If the performance continues along this path, it may not matter who the new coach is after the contract is up, because it's going to be awfully difficult to bring back a large portion of the old fan base who got tired of seeing the same bad story play out for so many of Farley's final years.

How much would Farley's buyout be?

[farkmarley]

Need to hire Paup.

How much would Farley's buyout be?

~$1.3 Million paid out over 4 years if fired after this year. $540k paid immediately if fired after this year.

[BCPanther]

Need to hire Paup.

No.

Kaboom.

The buyout changes at the end of 2018.

[TravelingPanther]

If we lose this week then I assume it will be pretty empty against Youngstown State. If we lose that one and the game to the Bison, I can

The buyout changes at the end of 2018.

Correct. I didn't word that the best. Basically, its an extra $750k to fire him after this season but we have 3 additional years to pay that out rather than it being due up front.

Pull. The. Trigger. David.

Listening to Rima today made me laugh....you would think he is on Farleys payroll....wants to only listen to knowledgeable fans and not Monday morning QBs about the state of our program....well...i played college football and have been a season ticket holder for 12 years and have missed 1 home game...hope that qualifies..his theory is the MVC is harder now then it used to be...boo hoo....NDSU don't care about that....our program is on a major decline....cant run the ball...cant close out games....oline play has been soft...struggle now to finish over .500 every season....we can either just let this keep playing out and continue our decline and football just become another sport here....or get some new blood in here and get this turned around before the program is so decimated it can't be....saying the program is ok but the w and l say a different story....Rima ...please be honest and taje off the purple glasses

I can understand and even admire to a certain point Rima's loyalty to Farley, and he is also loyal to and a fan of UNI just as much as anybody else is, but I truly wish he would not insult our collective intelligence in his defense of Farley.
