AD disarray

[pnthr53]

I think you’re right…gotta figure out how to generate money if they are gonna compete. People aren’t going to blindly dump money in their lap and wait for results. Like most things…everything revolves around the dollars.

[run&blade]

I don’t see any amount of money that would stop Farley from destroying UNI football offensively.

would more money have stopped the most epic NCAA choke job by the basketball team? Or stop them from crapping the bed numerous time with huge leads in big games?

money is always good, I think it’s time for new coaching and a new beginning.

time for an AD that perhaps markets UNI as a stepping stone. We will give you all you need to be very successful and then advance.

You think Farley couldn't attract better coaches that he might actually trust if he could pay them more than $65k to be a coordinator?

The stepping stone thing is great if you've got a crazy well connected AD and you never miss because the minute you miss, it's over. Also, at least basketball-wise, we play in a destination league. There isn't a program that's been successful long term burning through coaches.

Is there programs that have been successful with the same coach for two decades? Winning national titles every few years? Heck even multiple semi finals?

any basketball coaches at non power 5/6 conferences with ncaa tournament appearances for 15-20 years?

maybe there is but I don’t know of any.


seems to me the best results come from people that are young, motivated, and hungry. UNI seems to have given out lifetime achievement awards and the fans are expected to show up and golf clap and get misty eyed about the gold ole days that are a decade in the rear view mirror.

the hell with that is what the bulk of the fans have responded.

Every one of our coordinators and high level coaches are making $80-100k.

Working off an old list, my bad.

I'll leave football out of this. Y'all are making me seem like this giant Farley guy, I'm 100000% not but we're also not giving him the tools to compete at a high level. I'm all in on making a change once we have an AD that you'd trust to make that hire because we sure as hell don't have one now plus Mark is under contract until 2027

Basketball-wise your expectations have to be realistic. There's nobody at our level that goes every single year and frankly Jake tracks with guys that are hall of famers with number of appearances.

Bob McKillop (Davidson)-9 appearances in 28 years. (3 wins all in one year)
Dana Altman (Creighton years)-7 appearances in 17 years (2 wins)
Rick Byrd (Belmont)-8 appearances in 23 years (1 win)
Randy Bennett (St Mary's)-7 appearances in 21 years (3 wins)
Ben Jacobson-4 appearances in 15 years (4 wins)

Great coaches at our level go about once every 3-4 years unless they have giant money advantages (see Marshall at Wichita)

Farley had Salmon on his staff for years and still didn’t trust him and overruled his play calling on game day. This isn’t about how much salary a coordinator makes, it’s about Farley letting them run the offense. Get higher paid coordinators and UNI is just wasting money on them if Farley is going to change the game plan before game day or on game day.

[Trapped in California]

Farley is one of the highest FCS HC in the nation. You could get plenty of great candidates at $200-$250K+ a year. Then spread of the leftover cash around for the assistant coaches (or scholarships).

This article is a couple years old, but gives you a flavor of what some of other coaches in the MVFC were earning in 2018

Just wanted to start a separate thread…

Anybody know what is going on within Descargar Youtube Vanced AD right now, or are we just supposed to pretend these departures 2 weeks before the fall season’s start are business usual??

No question he will be missed but the moving to a different job and new experience is very common place for aggressive young people in athletic administration

[DecadePanther]

Nearly all of Jacobson's deal is privately funded so his contract is not a drain on the university. You'd think as fascinated as you are with him you'd at least understand the details.

The only thing that isn't privately funded for Jake is his IPERS contribution because it would be illegal to do it any other way.

That clown is incapable of a good faith discussion and we're stuck with him because Ames has disappeared yet continues to pay the server fees.

[BrockLesnar]

I don't think Harris will be fired due to no scandal. Yeah, I'd like Farley to be both AD and Head Coach, but it won"t happen. As far as a new Head Coach, who knows. We could do worse than Farley.

On a semi-related note. It bums me out to see Jed Smith's salary. He has been here since 2005 and has been instrumental in the success of the football program as well as all of the other teams. I would hope they would have him above six figures.
