Look at the Iowa baseball program prior to the 2014 season and you will see a team that struck lightning in a bottle twice under then head coach Jack Dahm. Prior to him, Scott Broghamer lasted just six seasons with no winning records to show for it. And prior to him, Duane Banks, who the Hawkeyes home field is named after, was at the helm for 27+ seasons.
Banks lead the team to two NCAA Regionals and one NCAA College World Series appearance. He was essentially the Hayden Fry or the Kirk Ferentz for the baseball team. However, after Banks retired from his position, the baseball team just had not been the same.
