This week on Fight for Iowa, Gary Dolphin sits down with new Iowa running backs coach Jay Norvell. A Hawkeye All-American, 1985 team MVP, and one of the most experienced coaches in college football, Norvell shares the journey that brought him back to Iowa City more than 40 years after arriving as a player alongside Kirk Ferentz. He discusses why returning to his alma mater was the right move, the transition from offensive analyst to running backs coach, and the opportunity to mentor a talented Hawkeye backfield led by Kamari Moulton. Norvell also reflects on his playing days under Hayden Fry, his years as a head coach, and his excitement for the future of Iowa Football as the Hawkeyes prepare to open the 2026 season at Kinnick Stadium.
