Jared Farley New GA

No doubt Farley has good coaching genes. But what is surprising in that this is not an 'in the family' hire, certainly emphasized in all of the recent moves. If there was no interest by former Cyclone or Toledo players, then no big deal.

An Iowa boy whose family is well know in the state. Sounds like an all out attack on recruits in Iowa.
 
Are GA's usually around for just one season?

Reason being, we don't play UNI this year, but we do again the following year. Not sure I'd want him around if we were playing UNI.
 
Sounds like a great guy to have on staff. As a player, he wasn't an AA because of elite talent...

Those kind of people make the best coaches

GAs are normally around for two years. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a GA to get a master's in one year.

Having an opposing teams playbook is easy. All you have to do is to study film. The difficult task is determining which play or defense will be ran at any given time. The other relevant question is what new wrinkles will be thrown in from game to game. Great coaches make successful in game adjustments.
 
Do not disagree about the kid. However his dad is a prick.

The old man has always had great things to say about the TOE program, Iowa State-not so much.
Looking forward to another UNI beatdown two years from now.

Jake Waters (K-State alum) was on staff for two years. Do you really think a kid trying to work up the coachings ranks would put his career in jeopardy for one game?
2 games in your example.
 
You sound like Jeff Woody
Well then, Jeff is a smart man too.
Lived in Waterloo my first 60 years. One of my best friends hangs out with members of the UNI fb staff. Trust me, he is a prick. Plus as another poster said, he never says anything positive about ISU, and is a big eiu suckup. Do not know much about his kid, but he was a good fb player. Hope he has his mothers traits, although I never met her but she to be better than Mark.

Why not? Wouldn't you want to prove to your father that you helped/were part of a team beat his team? I dunno, I guess my family is competitive so I would assume he'd take it as a challenge to beat the ole man.

I've had the same impression of his dad. Whenever we beat UNI in football, he never gives us any credit whatsoever. Well, he should be extremely grateful our staff has given his son a wonderful start to his coaching career.
