The Hawkeyes went on to win the Rose Bowl in 1956 and 1958 with Forest Evashevski as head coach. They were named national college football champions following the 1958 season.
In both 1960 and 1961, Iowa reached No. 1 in the national rankings during the season. The Hawkeyes finished the 1960 season as the No. 3 team in the nation.
Hayden Fry was named Iowa’s head coach in 1979 to begin a tenure that lasted until 1998. During his two decades at the helm, the Hawkeyes were ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 in 10 seasons. They were the No. 10 team on the list in 1985 and 1991.
Kirk Ferentz continued this tradition of success as head coach of Iowa starting in 1999. After going 1-10 his first season at the helm, Ferentz has led the Hawkeyes to a major bowl game in 18 of his last 21 seasons.
During its storied history on the football field, Iowa has won one national championship and 12 conference titles. The Hawkeyes have appeared in 34 major postseason bowls. In 1939, Nile Kinnick was named the Heisman Trophy winner as college football’s most outstanding player.
