HALL OF FAME HALL OF FAME Twenty men who have been associated with Iowa football are members of Halls of Fame, named by the National Football Foundation, the Helms Athletic Foundation or the College Football Hall of Fame. Seven men have been named to the Halls of both foundations: Howard Jones, coach; Nile Kinnick, player; Gordon Locke, player; Fred (Duke) Slater, player; Dr. Edward Anderson, coach; Edward (Slip) Madigan, coach; Calvin Jones, player. Five men have been named to the Hall of the Helms Foundation: Calvin Jones, player; Ossie Solem, coach; Emlen Tunnell, professional player; Eric Wilson, publicist. Aubrey Devine, Randy Duncan, Alex Karras, Chuck Long and Larry Station have been named to the National Football Foundation Hall as players, while Earl Banks was inducted on the merits of his long-time coaching tenure at Morgan State. Former Iowa Coach Forest Evashevski was honored into the Hall of Fame in December of 2000 in New York City and Hayden Fry is the latest Iowa coach to be inducted. Evashevski coached Iowa from 1952-60, compiling a 42-27-4 record. The Hawkeyes finished in the top five nationally in 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1960 under Evashevski, who later served as Iowa’s Athletic Director. Fry was inducted as a member of the 2003 Hall of Fame class at the 46th annual awards dinner on Dec. 9, 2003 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The newest class was officially enshrined at the Hall in South Bend, IN, in August, 2004. Fry is Iowa’s winningest head coach with 143 wins. He led the Hawkeyes to three Big Ten titles and Rose Bowl appearances and coached the Hawkeyes in 14 bowl games.
NATIONAL IOWA VARSITY CLUB HALL OF FAME Inductees are selected by a vote of all dues-paying members of the National Iowa Varsity Club. All former Hawkeye athletes who have won at least one major letter and completed their eligibility at least 10 years prior to selection are eligible for the Hall of Fame. A coach or administrator must have retired or left the university at least five years prior to selection. A maximum of seven inductees may be selected to the Hall of Fame each year. Listed below are each of the 43 inductees who have played football for the Hawkeyes or served as Iowa’s head football coach.
