The University of Northern Iowa is losing its second head coach in the last two days. Panther head football coach Mike Dunbar has resigned to take a job as quarterbacks coach for Northwestern. Dunbar had been the coach for four seasons. Athletic Director Rick Hartzell announced Tuesday that men’s basketball coach Sam Weaver had resigned after a 7-24 season. Assistant Athletic Director Kevin Buisman says the two resignations are not related.Buisman says it will be tough having to replace both coaches at the same time. Dunbar never had a losing season at UNI, but he failed to win a conference championship or get the Panthers into the Division 1-AA playoffs in any of his four years.
