if you were born in 62, all you knew was that the Hawks didn't have a winning season
and then Hayden arrived from North Texas in 1979
Only 2 good things happened to Iowa in this time period. Ed Podiolack playing for Iowa in the late 60"s and Hayden Fry being hired in 1979.
Iowa"s fall was painful. Iowa won a national championship (not in AP but in another equal poll) in 1958 with Forest Evashevski as coach. Then Evy stepped down and Iowa had 18 straight seasons without a winning record. Hayden Fry knew Iowa was underperforming and was able to unlock that potential in the 80's.
