Very old video of Hayden Fry...

[Kinnick.At.Night]

So, the ongoing meltdown around is tired. How about some new blood in a forum sense. From a very old video of Coach Fry. I love his mention of a moral victory. You can feel his disdain for it, even then. He carried that sentiment to Iowa, famously.

That’s great stuff. The way those guys look and sound it could have just as easily been an interview with an eye witness to the Kennedy assassination, which probably happened within a mile and a year of this interview.

That's wild! He was chomping that gum back then too

"Iowa St. has got good ballplayers too. We've even had a couple of them walk on for us."..... Hayden Fry

Fry proposes 4 team playoff nearly 40 years ago.

We could really use some of his guidance and wisdom right now.

The ol' Marine who was good at scratchin' where it itched.

Hayden changed the Big Ten. I don't care if anyone disagrees with me. If it wasn't for him, the Drew Brees of the world would not thrived in the BIG

In this period of such offensive malaise seeing these great clips of HF the innovator kinda stirs a haunting melody inside of me.

"Where have you gone Hayden Fry, Hawkeye Nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

Maybe it's corny 🤷‍♂️ ... but that's how I feel damnit!

Kirk needs that "enthusiasm" now with the oline. Ours is a shot show these days

Great old videos! Thanks for sharing.

Somehow I have a feeling Hayden of that era wouldn't be reminding anyone they won 10 ten games while getting crushed whenever they play a team with a pulse.

Good clip and fun to watch. Honestly I don't remember seeing any clips of Hayden fry that old. I'm 41 so that was all before my time, for me it started as 80s mustache hayden. I've seen plenty of pictures of him young throughout my life, but I believe that's the first time I've ever heard a young Hayden speak.

I graduated in 1971, so I remember a lot of coaches. I would not in any way recognize Fry in the first clip! His voice was the same, but boy, he was a good looking guy back then. All I remember was the craigy faced oldish guy when he coached.

Great psychologist

We went to the Rose Bowl in 82 with an offense that was 9th out of 10 Big X teams, only NW was worse. Defense turned Iowa's program around it's always the quickest way to turn a program around...
