Hayden Fry is a college football legend. What he accomplished during his tenure in Iowa City will go down as one of the most remarkable coaching jobs on record.
Just three years into his tenure, after taking over a program without a winning season in 18 years and three coaches, Hayden Fry won the Big Ten Conference Championship and had the Hawkeyes in the Rose Bowl. A decade later, Fry and the Hawkeyes won 10 games, fresh off their third Big Ten Title and Rose Bowl appearance. They’d had just one losing season in that span, leading the fanbase to believe it has officially turned the corner.
