The amount of stability in the Iowa staff is a HUGE part of KF's success. He wandered a bit with OCs but otherwise he got his hires exactly right.

I think a lot of people, even *in* the Iowa fandom, have never considered that someday someone else will coach the Hawkeyes. I still remember the shock when Hayden stepped down and Kirk, who I did not remember at all, was hired. Granted, it was time for Hayden to go. He was 1 year younger than KF is

This book has saved me more than once. It was one of the textbooks in my 8th grade English class in 1986.

I mean, he's not very demonstrative and certainly he's no attention hog, so you could be right. But I think he's not going to want to drag it out. If he knows he's done, he'll say so as soon as it won't hurt the team for him to do so.

After Mike Leach died the CFBHoF lowered the eligibility threshold to .595, because what good is the Hall if it doesn't have a place for one of the sport's most innovative coaches?

MSG is an absolute cheat code for deliciousness.

Now get home before it starts snowing, Hawkeyes. The only thing you can eat in Nebraska that you can't also get in Iowa is a runza.
