Iowa football: Latest coaching hire has current family ties to Hawks

The retirement of longtime assistant coach and top recruiter Reese Morgan was a huge blow for the Iowa football team, but it appears the Hawks have finally settled on a replacement just a few days after spring practice has concluded.

The new man who will be manning the defensive line as an assistant to the recently promoted Kelvin Bell just so happens to be current starting linebacker Nick Niemann’s dad, Jay Niemann.

Do not underestimate the importance of this hire.

Sounds like Jay Niemann will fill the open D-Line asst job on the Iowa staff.
