UNI football: Farley hires former Panther Mahaffey as new offensive coordinator

CEDAR FALLS -- Northern Iowa head football coach Mark Farley announced Tuesday that he has hired former Panther Ryan Mahaffey as his new offensive coordinator.

This will be Mahaffey's third stint on Farley's staff and he returns to Cedar Falls after serving as tight ends coach at Western Kentucky the past two seasons.

"I think it is a great opportunity for UNI football, and I think it is a great opportunity for Ryan," Farley said in a release. "We brought Ryan back, because he is UNI football. He knows the strengths of this university. He knows what works within our football program and he understands an Iowa high school football player who fits our school and fits our team.
