Iowa loses an assistant coach, no foul play...he simply retired
Posted by Ben Patterson Sports at 6:34 AM
Carl Jackson came to the University of Iowa to coach running backs under Hayden Fry in 1979, 2-stints and 30 years later he has decided to retire. Kirk Ferentz joined Jackson for the retirement announcement in Iowa City.
Twelve running backs that Jackson coached have gone onto the NFL. While at Iowa, Jackson coached nine of the eleven Hawks that have rushed for 1,000 or more yards in a season. Jackson feels that this is the right time for him to retire even though he doesn't know what he's going to do next. He also talked about some of his favorite memories at Iowa.
Jackson had a few nice stints with the Black and Gold, I have no doubt that KF will be able to replace this position on his staff with an able body ready to recruit.
