Legendary Iowa Head Coach Hayden Fry has passed away at age 90. He spent 20 years coaching the Hawkeyes, and guided them to 14 bowl appearances, 10 AP top 10 finishes, 3 Rose Bowls and 3 B1G titles.
Hayden Fry also created one of the most significant coaching trees you will ever see. Obviously, there is Kirk Ferentz, who took over for Fry in 1998 after being a long time assistant to him, but other members of that coaching tree include all three Stoops brothers (Bob, Mike and Mark), Barry Alvarez, Bill Snyder, Bret Bielema and Bo Pelini. When it comes to B1G coaches, the names that usually come up first are Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler...but Hayden Fry built his own B1G legacy in the cornfields, and his impact on college football was huge. RIP coach.
