I recently read a short piece that Jon Miller wrote praising Hayden Fry. I agree with his analysis 100%.
Many years ago I had the opportunity to play 9 holes with Coach Fry in a golf outing. He was friendly and fun to be with; we really did not discuss football very much. He did make a prediction during that day that came true later - he said that Tim Dwight "was going to be a special player". How right he was.
Many years later I ran into him again. To my astonishment, he remembered me (without me reintroducing myself) and recalled, with laughter, the day of golf we had spent many years before. He was the same warm person that I remembered from that day of golf.
My point is that Hayden Fry was truly a gifted, special person, with an amazing way with people and a gift at remembering names, places and events. Very few people have that ability.
I think Kirk Ferentz is also that type of person.
Iowa fans are truly lucky to have had Coach Fry and Coach Ferentz running the show for the past 32 years. It really is special and unique when you think about it.
