Game 1 Eastern Washington

[Born-a-Panther]

I am right along with quite a few folks out here. If he cannot win the three obvious games, he should (IMO) be fired on the spot and give someone with serious aspirations a chance.

About Mark, I wish we still had Mark to help with recruiting because he was awesome at it, given the lack of support that UNI has had. As far as coaching, I think he was way too predictable and was a bit of a control freak. We had some assistant coaches that he did not even give much of a chance to coach, but that is on Mark. UNI's program should not have fallen as much as it did. Marks last season I believe he was totally unsupported by the new AD and they hog-tied his hands.

So now I am in the camp of PROVE ME WRONG! PLEASE!!

Mark was a great recruiter. It makes me mad every day how his career here ended. And I fear UNI football will never be the same.

I totally agree. Farley had a factor that is hard to replace. A deep passion for UNI. He made due with less because he loved UNI.

Granted I agree he could be a control freak and could be predictable but you knew our team would be in the game (except his final season).

I hope I am wrong but the program has gotten worse with our new coaching staff.

You don’t hire the AD we did if you truly believe in our programs & want to continue our rise as a total program. I knew it the day she was hired by the BOR. She’s hear to do their dirty work. All the touchy, feely stuff from her & our football coach speaks volumes. It isn’t what winning programs talk about.

She’s better than David, but I tend to agree. I think she nailed the basketball hire with Green, but I think she whiffed on the football hire. Too much of a comfort hire. She hired the guy she knew because she didn’t know anyone else. Whereas the MBB job was Green’s dream job, she had to talk Stepsis into coming here. And he seems to be content to peddle fufu stuff that might have worked at Drake but not here.

If she had to talk Stepsis into coming to UNI then we never should have hired him. I don't care if someone wants to come here because they see it as a great place to coach (like Kyle Green) or if they see it as a stepping stone to a bigger job. Either of those are better than a guy who seems like he was content winning 7 or 8 games in the pioneer league.

I've said it for a year and a half now.

Todd had the perfect job for Todd.

Get ready to be 0-3 after Iowa. Drake will probably spank this team.

Nah, Drake has been garbage in both games. Montana could've hung 80 on then yesterday if they'd have wanted to.

Drake isn't beating us. Not remotely close. A great goal would be to beat Drake by more than what the Iowa margin is.

I wonder what Montana would do to us.
