Terry Allen, longtime North Iowa football figure, departs UNI after 22 years to become Kansas University's head coach. He leaves a 75-26 record at UNI and a string of conference titles while praising his staff and personal leadership as key to future success.
KU coach selected never won fewer than eight games as head coach. Under Allen, the Panthers have won or shared seven consecutive Gateway Conference titles, and he has been the league's coach of the year five times. His teams have made the 16-team I-AA playoffs seven consecutive years. Four have reached the quarterfinals and two made the Final Four. UNI this past season went 12-2. The Panthers lost to I-AA national champion Marshall in the semifinals. Under Allen, UNI was 3-3 against Big 12 teams. The Panthers are 2-2 against Iowa State. They beat Kansas State in 1989 and lost to Oklahoma State in 1990. "Why is he a success?" Rubers asked. "No. 1, he has a tremendous eye for talent. No. 2, he has a great rapport with his players, and he's able to motivate them to play. No. 3, he has a great coaching staff. I haven't talked with Terry yet, but my sense is, he'll try to bring many if not all of his coaches with him. "And I think he's a great recruiter. He gets guys who get overlooked. Like I said, we hate to see him go." When he was named head coach at UNI, Allen was the youngest head coach at the I-A and I-AA levels.
Allen, 39, of Iowa City, Iowa, is a UNI alum and football coach with eight seasons at Northern Iowa. He has a 75-26 record, the top mark among active NCAA Division I-AA coaches, and has led UNI to seven straight Gateway Conference titles and I-AA playoff appearances. His wife Lynn and daughter Angela are part of his family.
