As I was cleaning out my desk in my den,
I came across these notes from a Hayden
Fry Speech many years ago.

1. Hard work
2. Getting and keeping good assistant coaches
3. Taking ordinary talent of others & molding
extraordinary people
4. Keep the game fun
5. A burning desire to win
6. Great organization
7. Defense wins football games

Great plan back in the old days before the players started running the NCAA and NFL...Try and remember the "GOOD OLD DAYS".

I think KF does a good job in all these areas with the exception of 4. Too much like a job for a lot of these kids. They are still in college let them enjoy the whole college experience, most wont go pro and your only in college once.
 
Hayden Fry had a sense of humor in
the locker room, and on the field. He
was one of a kind. After Evy's success
in the 1950's, Hayden came and put
Iowa back on the college football map.
 
Hayden also had a sense of humor giving interviews - all the 'Haydenisms' like scratch where it itches, etc.
