Panthers

Once known as the "walk on from Waukon" when he wore a Panther football uniform, Mark Farley returned to his alma mater as its head football coach when his appointment was announced in a press conference held April 3, 2001.

Now in his sixth year as the Panther mentor, Farley never has felt more at home. Through his leadership, the Panthers have returned to the glory days when they won seven straight conference titles and made seven consecutive I-AA playoff appearances in the decade of the `90s.

Farley's 2006 Panthers made school history by reaching the first NCAA I-AA national championship game in the program's history. The Panthers reached the final by edging out No. 15 Eastern Washington (38-35), No. 1-ranked New Hampshire (24-21) and No. 4 Texas State (40-37).

In Farley's five years at the helm, UNI has advanced tto post-season play three times and has won at least a share of three Gateway crowns.
