What a great man and leader.

Wow, the stories and praise in that video are amazing and how I remember Hayden.

Literally days after Bump Elliott.

Hopefully Lute and Mr. Davis are faring well, as they say it always happens in threes, but first and foremost a huge loss to two generations of hawk fans and condolences to the Fry family.

I was fortunate enough to know Hayden a little, my first two years covering Iowa football were his last two years as coach. I then interviewed him several times during his retirement for stories.

I will always remember him as a master story teller. He loved to laugh at his own jokes and you couldn’t help but laugh with him.

I’m smiling just thinking about it.

Sorry Rob,
I didn’t see you post at the top of the threads and then priced it after I started my thread.

No worries. There's plenty of good content out there on Hayden. I recommend consuming it all.

I recommend reading Mike Hlas piece from his trip out to visit Hayden in Nevada four years ago.

Saw that the Gov of Iowa has ordered flags to be lowered to half mass for him... That would have to be unprecedented I bet. For a college football coach to have had that done is a pretty big deal

They should be lowered to half staff every time Kirk runs a stretch play to the short side of the field.

Watch Hayden congratulate the basketball team and Tom Davis on a big win (see below). Even gave some details on the Hokey Pokey.
