Mark Farley

Yeah.

Why even have a team if you're not going to do this? So Mark Farley quit.

Say what you want about Mark Farley, one of the best coaches in FCS history.

He's incredible.

He goes 3-9 in his last year and says, all right, I'm out.

He and Brett know each other so well.

Mark Farley is a guy we mentioned before.

Joey going to be fascinating Saturday whenever we find that out.

I'm sure the broadcast will know and hopefully we will know.

The one guy I want to bring up, because Brett Bielma has brought him up, he's technically part of the offensive staff.

Mark Farley is a senior offensive analyst for Illinois, but he's a former or senior offensive assistant.

He's the former Northern Iowa head coach.

He was there for about 25 years.

And he's a defensive guy.

Now, this is really Bobby Houck-like, right? That's my concern.

But we've heard Brett Bielma talk a lot about Mark Farley and his importance for the offensive staff getting ready for the scout of the opposing team.

So he clearly is a defensive-minded guy who is on the offensive staff that helps them with that.

And I think he feels bad for them, because this day and age, they've just been ...

Not only do they not have Mark Farley anymore, that, they've just been completely ripped apart by NIL.

Those programs, feel horrible for them.

Well, I-

This is right now.

I mean, this is obviously not the Mark Farley teams of the past, right? And the other part is any really good player at Northern Iowa, you're afraid is going to go hit the portal.

Like they're going to have to reload almost every year, and that's just the way that college football is right now.

I mean, I would equate Elliott to – being a low major basketball coach.
