Publicly abuse the program. Good stuff. Hope none on you hate the SEC too. Bigger jackasses than they are.

I bet some of you have already created new twitter accounts to get back at him, will brag, then do it again when he blocks you.

Get a life.

I think you are missing the point, I don't think people are devastated because they can't communicate with him on twitter, I think the bigger concern is that he is totally out of touch with the program

I'd rep you again if I could.

Continue emailing him!

If he continues to let Rod coach then his job should be on the line!!!!!


Make NIU football great again!

What is your boss's email address? I'd like to contact him repeatedly asking that you be fired.

Seriously. What is wrong with you?

Oh stop it... Out of touch? Your definition of out of touch is the inability to fire the HC. Which is out of his hands unless he gets $1M from outside the budget. What else makes him out of touch?

You guys are criticizing the man for things he cannot control. Hindsight is 20-20, he probably also wishes he didnt extend Carey.

I'm sure he knows Carey isn't the answer. I don't think he's out of touch. I think the biggest issue is there's so little money to go around, that he's stuck with little options. We don't have a ton of rich alumni who are donating to Athletics. I don't know how we get the alumni more active with their wallets. We've done everything successful programs do with a shoestring budget, and that's Frazier's dilemma. He's the the enthusiasm, and the idea of what to do to get the program to the next level, but alumni haven't or aren't able to get the projects off the ground. The state is a dumpster fire of burning money, and the cards are stacked against us. Yes, we ALL want Carey gone, so you should be sending Fraizer a check and a letter, with an understaidng the situation sucks, and here's something to get this back on track. That's all we can do.

this task was made infinitely harder, when we failed to reel them in (make them fall in love) into the gameday experience as students.

I agree, I was there 99-03, got married on the field, but most of the others I know give 0 love to the university, when they were there they went to games for half, then left. I don't understand why the university doesn't sponsor a Red Riot and use them to market to incoming freshmen. Sign up get a free shirt, premium seats etc.

The next part is getting alumni back, and that requires the stadium upgrades. People with some cash who might be interested want premium seating backs on seats, etc. Whether they come to every game or not is another story. Also, the concessions NEED to get better end of story.

It's a tough road, and this season hasn't made it any easier.

And I'm not sure what SeanTee Frazier is doing to correct it, but it's an uphill battle after years of neglect.

I do agree with this. Carey is his own worst enemy. He deserves to be fired. We need a up and coming FCS coach like who wants to go to the next level by proving he can take NIU up to the top again. Now, NIU is a 2-3 year project. Again ( darn it)!

For every year NIU lets Carey continue, I think there is a 2 to 1 ratio for time to rebuild the program to where it was in 2012. So if Carey runs through entire contract, it would take about 6 years to rebuild.

Nice garbage stat you made up there with the 2:1 ratio

Not an exact science, but obviously the longer Carey is the coach the longer it will take to rebuild. Purely an estimate, could very well be 1.9 or 2.1 !

lol - not an exact science so it's off by a tenth of a point either way!?

It's a little different comparing Red Dog's job as a counter clerk at Napa Auto Parts and Coach Carey's job as a head coach for a high profile (relatively) athletic team.

Along with a generous salary that should make his family financially stable for the rest of their lives comes the public scrutiny. Sports fans have high expectations and when coaches fall short; there will be an outcry. It comes with the territory.

How am I missing the point?

If you want to communicate in a civil way in public: twitter

If you want to see what he has to say and say nothing: twitter

If you want to communicate directly, more than the 180 or whatever characters,get answers in a civil way, privately: email

If you want to rip him, program and expect answers: email. Perhaps he responds. Sounds like he has


If you think you are entitled to answers after ridiculing him or the program publicly: You are an idiot and he has every right to block you. Call it whatever you may, but get over it. Poor performance is the root of this, but anyone would have done the same. I am sure in whatever walk of life you are from, job, family you would enjoy public ridiculing. Hell, half of you can't even take a guy from ISU making fun of NIU or stand the fn sight of an Illini Tire sign. And he is thin skinned, not professional?

You want to have fun and let your anger out on Twitter I suggest starting your own page. Or post on the Hillary and or Trump page with all the other pi$$ed of people who like to read their own comments, argue and feel empowered when doing so.

Randy just hit it out of the park.

Again I dont think people are upset about the fact they can't contact him, I think the bigger disappointment is that he has shut himself off from the fans and seems out of touch with the state of the program. It's a tough situation because he is admitting failure by letting Carey go , so it's really not an option even forgetting about the finances. NIU is in a tough spot the past decade due to conflicts in ADs upward mobility and the health of the program. ADs at NIU since Groth have chosen their own career over Huskie athletics. Heck the convenience of Carey replacing Doeren was largely done out of AD convenience for the next job. Have to find someone for that job who cares about NIU athletics, plain and simple

You realize that it was Compher that hired Carey. You can complain about STF all you want, but he has upgraded the athletic department in many ways. He has brought professionalism to the department that we haven't seen since Jim Phillips left for Northwestern. If it wasn't for the terrible budget issues in our fine state, many enhancements would already be made to the convocation center, football stadium, and other facilities that have been drawn up lomg ago by STF and his staff.

I see his tweets just fine. It's only the delusional mutants that are advocating mass emails and tweets to him, that don't. For that I commend him. There is a line between let him know your opinion, and harassment by flooding him with multiple emails.

Maybe someone with some PR sense got to him. I'm not a big fan of Twitter, so personally it makes no difference to me. It just doesn't look good to make that type of change when things get tough. If he always had his account private it wouldn't be a big deal, but changing after a tough loss and long losing streak gives people who are already po'd one more thing to point to and be angry about.
