Chip Kelly? Greg Davis? Marc Trestman? At this point, UNI needs offensive assistants.

Wish it weren't true.

But before the board goes total dumpster fire here...Let's keep some perspective.

He got the QB coach job at his Big 12 alma mater. A heck of a job...Probably was always the plan as he went from GA at K-State to a legit QB coach at UNI.

Not like he's leaving to be the film coordinator at Drake.

All true. It doesn't help offensive continuity, and it would help to have a guy in that job who has some familiarity with Eli and the other skill players.

What are the odds that this somehow delays Salmon's retirement?

Re: What changes need to be made?

Well, there you go. Confirmation from someone with a long track record of having good information. Sorry to hear about it, but at least now we know. Has he been "gone" for a while? Or were we still in the hunt for him as OC?

Not really sure but I think it's recent. My husband found out from a player that just recently graduated. Then I was told by another source last night as well.

Took it this past weekend. Not sure if when really matters. Excited to see who Coach Farley brings in for an offensive staff next year.

In a crazy twist, Farley chooses not to hire an offensive staff and hires 8 defensive coaches and a kicking instructor...

I like this idea.

If he has a dual threat QB, he could run the ball more, control time of possession, keep the defense fresh and shorten the game.

We don't want to go backwards... Dunne is a passing QB for the next two years, the "running QB" hasnt worked quite so well here, especially in the red zone. We have great WR now and a skilled TE recruit, I would not like to see us resort to something that has not worked, Bailey couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Purpledog, I can see your objection to a duel threat QB. Does that mean you are OK with hiring only 8 defensive coaches and a kicking instructor?

No need for hired coaches - help the budget with player/coaches.

Not saying ok wth that at all. If and who he hires for offense I just would hate to go back and use a running QB again , especially with Dunne tagged starter for next few years. David Johnson played against us in our conference, I saw how good he was in HS. I remember the game against Iowa where he was killing it on a wheel route then he was taken out for an extended period, Just my opinion but a good QB should be able to get the ball to the play makers.

You don't think Dunne will be the starter the next two years?

My post was not serious.

How you seen Farley pick a QB the last 7 years?
