He dressed players in Steelers-style uniforms, marched them onto the field as “The Swarm,” and even painted the visitors’ locker room pink to unsettle opponents. His first game against Indiana ended in a shocking comeback win for Indiana after Fry’s team led 26-3 at halftime—so much so that Indiana’s coach walked out. Against No. 3 Oklahoma, Iowa lost 21-6 but stayed within striking distance, down just 7-6 at halftime. Fry didn’t sugarcoat losses—he called them what they were: failures—and demanded real wins, not moral victories. His fiery intensity, including threats to punch smiling players, earned respect, not fear. By 1981, his relentless work paid off: Iowa won the Big Ten, shared the title, and headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 23 years.
