KIRK SPEAKS: Hayden Fry and Early Signing Day edition

It has been a tremendously sad day for fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes.

As you all know by now, Hayden Fry passed away on December 17 at the age of 90 after complications with cancer.

It feels like the world should stop turning. Time should stand still. But it can’t. Yesterday was the early signing day for football recruiting, and head coach Kirk Ferentz traveled to San Diego to take place in the opening press conference with USC head coach Clay Helton ahead of next week’s Holiday Bowl matchup against the Trojans.

Nothing stops the day-to-day grind of the head coaching job for a Division I college football coach.
