I recruited Zac Taylor from Butler Community to play QB for me at Nebraska. He became the Big 12 Offensive Player of the year. Now heโs leading the Bengals to the Super Bowl. Shows you where your passion for the game can take you. Lightโm up Zac!๐ฏ

Today I lost my Coach. Passing at the age of 90, Hayden Fry changed my life. Much of what I have accomplished in life is because what he saw in me, that young kid from Madison Wisconsin. I keep his picture in my locker. I am so grateful he was my coach. Rest In Peace Coach.
