What are the chance big time donors (like Chessick who have publicly supported Carey) pitch in to raise Carey’s salary or dare I say get him another extension?

Carey is one QB away from a great team. We have been spoiled with Harnish and Lynch. Every school is looking for a stud. With average QB and below average WRs, TEs we still won the MAC. That is a good job in my opinion.

We feel the same way

I just think this train of thinking is so far off. There is a reason QBs regress and don't develop under Carey. It is a system which a QB cannot have success in right now, its a set up for failure. I am 100 percent convinced of that.

Seeing your posts for the last year, I would have thought this would be 110%.

Who’s your replacement for him?

Definitely an open-ended question at this point.

My chief concern is getting him out the door. If that happens, the rumors will start swirling and once a shortlist is uncovered, I, as well as others will have their favorites.

I’d even commit to season tickets if he’s gone. Who’s the guy(s) that has been yelling “Fire Carey” at games? First round at Fatty’s is on me.

Oh yes those guys that yell fire Carey every game......because that is what this fan base needs. Some loudmouth jag that needs to remind us every 5 mins that Carey should be fired. Sure looks great to the current players and potential recruits in the stands when some idiot spouts off like that. The fact you would buy them a drink is also part of the problem.

Please take him! Do us a favor and hire him away like ECU hired our last AD.

On the pro side it would be more money, a bigger budget and a better conference. On the con side I don't know how well he would handle substantially increased media, fan and donor scrutiny. I think he knows that is not his strong suit. It also appears that he has improved recruiting here substantially starting in 2017 and he may want to see that through. Time will tell of course but it appears that the 2017 through 2019 classes are a lot stronger than those that came before. One of the problems the team dealt with in 2018 was having two weak classes in the pipeline (2014 and 2016, my opinion). Another con is that if he leaves and it doesn't work out his career is basically over at age 50 unless he wants to go back to a coordinator role. I hope he stays but if not I'm sure we'll have good replacement options to choose from.

+1

Since there isn't much to talk about during the off season, if he leaves, who would everyone want to replace him? (people NIU would actually have a chance of getting)

There were people in Detroit who shouted “Fire Rod Carey” not 10 minutes later was a resounding “N I U”

I have no idea how anyone could convince themselves either of them are upgrades from Carey. Leipold, maybe, but I bet buffalo takes a massive step back next year.

I can't believe someone would go all the way to Detroit to heckle the coach.

Well, if nothing else, I'm guessing UT and UB fans would be a lot less receptive to losing their HC, especially to a G5 program.

If you’re judging anything off NIU’s fan base, you’re already doing it wrong. I concur with the post above that you won’t find 10 worse fan bases in the country worse than this one.

At least we made the top 10 in something.

You can take our defensive coordinator as your next head coach! We’ll throw in one of our stud running backs as incentive...
