Klieman to Minnesota?

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

Yeah Salmon and Farley are eating up a huge part of the budget for coaching salaries. I've commented a lot on Farley's pay level relative to FCS peers. It's more of an issue all the time.

FYI...Villanova's DC just left to take same job at UCONN. Speaks highly of Nova. Not a sign of trouble.

Villanova Hc retired a few months ago. A change at top almost always changes the assistants.

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

When it's a mass exodus less than a month before signing day, your coaches that have been doing the recruiting are leaving, and it's real late to find any coaches of quality it is an issue.

We will have lost, at a minimum, 5 coaches. Think about that. The staff is only allowed like 8. Essentially every coach but the DC and HC are rumored to be out the door. Do some soul searching and being honest with your self.

I was all on the losing a coach isn't a big deal. In 2 weeks to have lost over half, nearly all, of your staff? That's a pure sign of straight dumpster fire. That's especially true when your head coach is know to be notoriously hard to work for, is known to split the fan base, and isn't always well liked by the locker room

Of course, coaches leave. That is the business of CFB. However, losing this many coaches at this time surely has an impact on recruiting. Isn't this the time that assistant coaches are setting up the head coach to close the deal on undecided recruits, as well as keep committed guys from flipping? This can't be good for recruiting.

All Farley should be doing for every waking moment for the next three weeks is visit recruits! And still it is going to be tough to make it happen, particularly if a recruit asks who his position coach will be.

Yup, if things were so bad here they wouldn't all be getting better jobs elsewhere. The governor and no doubt soon the legislature taking another big whack at higher education spending probably has more to do with coaches leaving than Farley does. There's no money to pay them now and it's only getting worse in the future.

Yes. This. I have been friends with a number of our former assistant coaches. They get paid crap here, and it's not sustainable long term. They come here to build their resume, they work hard, and then they get opportunities elsewhere.

Conversely Jake demands his assistants are paid well

Another example of a coach who has done a good job and is moving on to a FBS school and higher pay.

There's no one else on the offensive side of the ball so we might as well start completely over.

Yes - true.

Wow. I wonder how much of this is Farley cleaning house on his own initiative? And how much is David Harris putting his foot down? I suspect that Harris gave him 2 years to shape things up. Or else.

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

Farley instituting his version of the A-11 offense - D-22, where all players are defensive players?
