UNI football coaching job drawing quick response

Athletics department appears to be moving quickly to name Mark Farley’s successor

I thought there were some interesting names on the candidates list, including a guy that played OL at Iowa. Also the guy who started at QB at UNI in front of Kurt Warner for most of Warner's career at UNI.

I also saw a couple of ISU assistants with UNI ties that were not interested. Maybe assistant jobs in the P4 pay too much now. Maybe that explains why Levar Woods did not apply.

Maybe that explains why Levar Woods did not apply.

UNI is FCS and has one of the smallest budgets in the MVC. He could get an FBS coordinator job, ain't no way he's going to apply for a job like that. Farley makes $400K which is chump change compared to the $700K plus bonuses Woods makes now like you said. He's got much, much bigger targets in his sights.

The FCS schools have almost no TV money. They get $20 a head for whomever shows up to the dome plus some popcorn money. The real money is if Iowa or Iowa State will schedule them for a million bucks. Beyond that, the hard costs of a football team are pretty substantial. Not a lot of high six figure coaching contracts at that level. I agree anything at that level is a stepdown for Woods.
