Not surprised by the move, the last two seasons have been a bit lackluster and a change is needed to build on what Tom Shea has done at UIU. He did a great job in making UIU competitive in D2 and stabilizing the program. UIU has challenges in terms of location and size, but yet was able to compete at a lower scholarship level and put a pretty darn good team on the field for many of the years he was there. I've seen a lot of bad UIU football prior to the move to D2 - but what he and his staff have accomplished - especially during the run of 6-5 seasons should be applauded. Timing is right - and am glad to see them allow him to transition gracefully. A job well done - some great football, players, and growth in the program since he took over!
"Upper Iowa and Hartzell will fill the vacant head coaching position as quickly as possible from within the current football staff and on an interim basis through at least the end of the 2020 season".
Heard there was someone in a Bemidji shirt on campus at UIU. Not sure if they were interviewing for the head job or not. I feel like both of our coordinators would make great head coaches. I prefer coach Wyatt solely based on how well he has improved the defense since he showed up. It was horrendous before he got there.

That'd be a goofy wardrobe choice if you're interviewing for a job with your opponent.

Why not open the search up?
It's a pretty unusual arrangement all the way around, with the former coach staying on as a "special advisor."

Won't disagree that it's time, but if you look back at 2015 and 2017 - we had 6-5 seasons and very competitive. 2018 should have been better with Lammers coming back at QB and other seniors in the mix. Was a tough year at 3-8, but I don't think you let a coach go after one bad season. Obviously this year was very tough and timing is right. He is old school, no doubt, and you'll never make everyone happy, but I think given his track record and winning seasons there really wasn't any reason to make a change in recent years given the winning records. With all that being said am looking forward to a renewed energy in the program! Looking forward to who they name and starts with this new recruiting class on the immediate impact they make!
