Woody, Bo, Hayden & Kirk have something in common; the 1983 Iowa Staff will be at Season Opener

[Franisdaman]

B1G Coaches to coach 20 full seasons at one school since 1950:

51-78: Woody
69-89: Bo
79-98: Hayden
99-18: Kirk

Note, too, against Kirk's wishes, the 1983 Iowa Staff (including Hayden Fry) will be at Season Opener, hopefully to witness history.


Nice 6 min interview:

Kirk seemed pretty talkative. Seems pretty upbeat.
He’s in some good company there... Woody, Bo, & Hayden.
Damn!

Against Kirk's wishes due to modesty, I assume? I hope that group takes a nice picture and the University makes posters of it.

He can’t fully enjoy the coaches at Iowa because it’s in season and prior to a game, he would prefer it to be a week after the season.

Ahh. Well, do it again after the bowl game. I'll host the event. They're all welcome at my house. So's the forum. We'll party.

I hope I can get VIP access to the dinner table.

Kirk made an interesting comment 'none of those coaches had a resume' what would the response have been today if the Iowa coach put that staff together with their resumes at the time?

For a long time I've argued that you hire people, not resumes. Look around today at not only sports but everywhere else, and you may notice how that looks. Good people certainly can have great resumes, but true greatness comes from fundamental traits such as honesty, integrity, empathy, and passion.

I have often been a severe critic of KF's offensive philosophy, but I cannot quibble with his fundamental traits. And BTW: Nobody had less of a resume than KF himself when Hayden hired him, so he has a special respect for that.
