      • So the plane news was garbage? LOL. Wow. Atrocious hire. 29-32 at Drake. Never coached at the scholarship level. Was 2-9 & 3-8 in '21 & '22. I was down on Farley as much as anyone, but what a slap in the face this is to him. And Megan Franklin is grandma alright. She is so far over her head it isn't funny. This school isn't interested in winning in men's sports any more. It's obvious.

                You do you think you are? You have been *****ing about utter nonsense on here for literally 20 years. You are a know-nothing loser that has never had 1 word of support for this school.

                The last thing anybody needs is for you to **** on this guy and our AD when you don't know JACK **** about either of them. Piss off.

                  Who the hell do you think YOU are? You have no idea how good this guy is as a coach, I'd say his success at Drake with no scholarships is pretty impressive. They won at Eastern Washington this year. I have no reason at this point to doubt the new AD.

                  • Give him four years and see where they are at.

                    At least he isn’t a UNI legacy so if it doesn’t work out you move one without any misgivings.

                        I don't often question your knowledge... but my recollection was Mark's salary was $150k and the rest funded with outside/dedicated money.

                          I’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know. You are an internet warrior. You are just some punk that hasn’t played, coached or given real money or time to this school or program. And until you do, shut your pie hole.

                            I believe you are correct pre-COVID. That's when boosters stepped in to take some of the budget pressure off.

                            • Not going to lie, I am a bit disappointed. This is an underwhelming hire IMO. The connection with the AD is obvious, and to his credit he has had success the last two years. Took a program (in Drake) that had winning seasons 14 of 15 years and went 13-25 over his first four seasons. The last two years have been great, and Drake has been as good as they have ever been these last two seasons. But he is very unproven and this will be by far the highest level in which has ever been involved as a coach or player. Was never a head coach before Drake, and all his experience before Drake was as an assistant in D2 and D3. He played at the D2 level as well.

                              Doesn't mean he can't be successful, but as much as I want to, it is difficult to get excited about this. He has a lot to prove. I, obviously, have no inside information and I have no idea how the process went down. But from the outside looking in it really looks like we made the easy hire and not necessarily the best one.

                              All that said, all you can do is give him a chance and hope he proves me and all the other haters wrong.

                              • Sounds like most of the big-name candidates dropped out due to financial issues. They didn't think UNI has what it takes ($$$) to compete in the FCS.
