Boise State job is GONE to the offensive Cordinator Peterson. Eastern Michigan job is gone. Come on we don't need to start rumors of Coach leaving as it could leak out to media then to potentail recruits reading this and thinking the coach doesn't care about them at all. GO PANTHERS!!First and foremost I would like to state that as a PROUD ALUMNUS, a former player of Coach Farley, winning 2 Gateway Conference titles under him and being part of the ressurection of tUNI in no way am I starting rumors which would affect the growth of our program by deterring recruits. Second of all I never stated that Farley was looking for the positions at BSU or EMU. What was said and I quote myself with Terry Allen raiding his staff could any off you possibly see a Farley defection to become a Division 1A head coach at like a Eastern Mich ora Boise State type school or a Defensive Coordinator at a big time School like a Missouri or Illinois.. The reason behind my post was to spark a little conversation over Xmas break, nothing wrong with that. Not to call you outJonsoup but you act as though this is something we will not have to face in the near future, being a successful 1AA or mid major program whatever you chose to call it you will have bigger programs coming after your coach. I have been on message boards outside of Panthernation (Hawkeyereort, Missouri.rivals)where Farley's or McDermont's name has come up so this is nothing new.Comment

Ta
Come on, JC ... lighten up!!! Part of the reason TA got the job is because of who he is! Those of us who've been Panther fans for many, many years know what he did for the program. I can still remember sitting (standing) in the stands during sell-outs. Can remember chatting with him at restaurants in passing. (He would do that, you know.) Can remember the TA show on Channel 7 every Sunday morning after church. Terry Allen is classy. And, I can tell all of you right now, he hasn't changed. I recall hoping that i would see him someday on the sideline of an Orange Bowl when the Big 12 used to have the automatic for the Miami game. Well, that didn't happen. He got replaced at Kansas because he didn't win, not because he was a bad coach or a bad person.
To wish ill on TA is unfortunate. I hope he does well. I can't wait to see him on the opposing sideline next year. I'll stand, cheer, and hope the Panthers win. But afterwards, I know that he will be interviewed by Channel 7, will speak highly of the Panthers, and will be looking forward to hosting the Cats the following year.
He's a class individual. His ego? Damn right his ego had something to do with it. He's got a great reputation, and has probably gotten to be a BETTER coach since he was at UNI. People in the coaching circles know who the good people are, just like everbody knows who the good people are in our chosen professions. If those people are available, we want them on board. At the moment that the job opened, TA likely wondered if ANYONE could do a better job than he. Good for him in realizing that he was the person MSU needed."Try being more of the solution, and less of the problem."Comment

I understand what your saying Buck. But I rather see him stay at UNI till his graduate from High school at least.GO NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS![SIZE="6"][/SIZE]Comment

KWWL sports tonight said Bolks is leaving and may find out about the other 2 tomorrow. I have to agree with you JC it does piss me off as well, the only hope is with the makeing it to the title this year that there will be allot of good coaches out there that will want to come to UNI, I dont have anything against TA but I hope we crush MSU every year and I mean crush them !Feel the Power of Purple !!!!!!Comment

I have to agree, I guess I can see that they are old frineds TA, Salmon ect but isnt TA and Farley friends ?? just seems kinda crappy to me after they have a great year go in and try to pull them away from a friend like that !Originally posted by JCPanthersI've heard that it is already a done deal with Vokolek and Bolks. I still can't believe this is happening. It just pisses me off that TA is at MSU!!
I honestly hope he fails miserably like he did at Kansas.
When TA interviewed with MSU...I thought...why in the hell would a former UNI player and coach choose to coach a team that will have to go head to head with his alma mater every year....I just don't understand it. I think if the truth were known...it's probably his ego that took him to MSU..he wants to prove that he is a better coach then Farley. All those successful years at UNI but he could never win the big one to get them to the Championship game....and then Farley does it in his 5th year.
I may be way off on that, but it will make for an interesting game each year.

The thing that worries me most about Bolks leaving is that he is the recruiting coordinator. I hope that the recruiting efforts are continued this year. It also allows MSU inside access to what strategy and what players UNI football will be going after this year.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

The exodus of many of the coaching staff truly is not a suprised, those who r on the outside looking in don't understand the depth of what truly goes on behind the scenes. Coach bolks leaving may hit us hard in recruiting since I believe he is one of the recruiters of the St. Louis, Springfiled, Kc area of Mizzou. Hopefully no more of our guys leaves.
Honestly when have you ever heard of a teams coaching staff leaving after going to a national championship game...well I guess It happens alot when coaches want to amke a move upward, but these are not even lateral moves these coaches are stepping down..gues they want to be apart of a rebuilding project..

Bolks leaving worries me for recruiting as well. After speaking to some of the players... I know they definitely did NOT want him gone and that the reason they came was cuz of how he pursued them. But I do have all the faith in the world in Farley being able to fill in the holes.. and the fact that we did have such an amazing season should bring out the best candidates to fill in those holes."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Class act? Yeah right. I'm sorry, I am not a TA fan and I've got a couple of reasons...first hand experiences...that I have based my opinion on. Sometime when you have a few hours, I'd be glad to share them with you.Originally posted by 4N6Comment

I said this before but I heard a lot of rumblings in Ames from donors wondering how long Dan was going to keep him around. I think he saw a fresh start and took it. I hope the rest of the UNI staff wants another title shoot and realizes they should stay at UNI if they want to be part of it.Comment

Just because he was recruiting coordinator does not mean that he was the only one in contact with recruits. Even when I was being recruited by D3 schools there were at least 2 or 3 other coaches besides the recruiting coordinator sending emails and letters and making phone calls.
The only coach that would really bother me to see leave is Salmon, and really I can't see him going. He gets to run the show offensively here, why would he go play second fiddle to the arrogance that is TA. Vokolek is probably gone too, but maybe with Farley truly running the show on that side we can stop somebody on third and 23!!Comment

Maybe now we can learn to BLITZ! When those last few games came down to the wire, the reason we won was because we BLITZ which I don't think we did enough in the championship game. I agree, maybe with Farley running the defense we can stop them now on 3 and 2!!! Who's to say there isn't a better coach out there that wants to go with a winning program.Originally posted by bcrawfComment

JC,
You're coming on like those secretive GSU guys on AGS around the time of Sewak's firing. Either you share the "experiences" or keep them to yourself. And do they NEED to spill over on to here and become part of what could be a constructive discussion?
In such things, we need to divorce ourselves, as best we can, from emotion.
Not smackin' - just sayin'.
