Thanks for the years Norm! Thanks for recognizing the time has come to throw in towel, honorable man.

I like the last line of his announcement: "Go Hawks!"

Best wishes to Norm as he begins a new chapter in his life. Thanks for the memories, Coach, and your status as a beloved Hawkeye legend is rock-solid.
As Chris Martin once said, Norm is "a beautiful mind".

There comes a time when your health supersedes everything else in life. Norm crossed that line last year when he lost his leg below the knee. From all accounts he was a good man and great coach to the players. And the production on the field by his players was awe inspiring at times. Thanks for everything Norm!

Norm, thanks for all your great coaching, player and person development, and community work. We have enjoyed having you at Iowa and hope you get healthy for some relaxing years.

Norm deserves to go out on his own terms and I'm happy for him that he made that decision. Thanks for all you've done Norm!

Norm will be missed even by all the critics of his defensive philosophies.
