Still a week away from the bowl, so we have some time to kill. Another year is in the books, and I think it's always fun to pick the best of the best that Kirk has coached, because he's had some real all timers under his wing. Some choices are more obvious than others, so it's always interesting to read who fans think are the most deserving. It's also a great way to celebrate Kirk's tenure as HC. Feel free to add/remove positions as needed.

I was really close to putting Freddy as the second RB, he was my first favorite Hawkeye. Plenty of debate to be had on the OLine and Dline. No shortage of amazing dudes on either side.

Just our luck that we didn't have all of those players at the same time.

No offense to Drew, but I would have Ricky Stanzi as one of the two QBs.

Marvin was a good WR but have to think about some others for a bit.

Yanda has to be in the starting OL. Did he start at tackle or guard?

Pretty Solid list I'd make a few changes just based on opinion

Offense
QB: Beathard 2015 has to be in there, either 1 or 2
WR: ISM instead of Mcnutt
TE: (tricky, but the duo of Hock/Fant was insane)
T: Honestly might to Bulaga over Gallery (probably a recency bias), Reiff is another one though
G: Yanda over Steinbach
RB: Kaleb Johnson over Betts

Defense

DT: maybe Babineaux, dude is under appreciated
DE: It'd be a tough choice between Eppy and Roth
DB: Hyde over Jackson ( really wanted to put Hooker here just for the Ohio State game)
S: I have to go Desmond King over Sash

You make a good point about recency bias, which always seems to affect all-time all-star teams.

Gallery stays at OT, ISM is a good pick. Hock and Sam are both REALLY GOOD.

I'll take Babs as the DT over Nixon, who was also good. Staying with Roth over Eppy (barely).

Yeah, probably Desmond over Sash, although we all loved Tyler (in a manly sort of way).

Ricky remains my favorite Hawkeye, but I felt like he was too inconsistent at times. I can't forget how he was an INT machine sometimes.

Clinton Solomon is definitely a WR to consider, he was electric.

Both Yanda and Bulaga are both valid choices for the OL.

Yeah that was Stanzi his junior year especially :) I remember watching a Michigan game where he threw a pick-six and I said to my buddy in the next seat, "Okay, we got that out of the way." Iowa won the game.

Probably Kaleb over Betts as second RB, but Ladell was desperately trying to find a hole or at least a crease. A glimmer of less congestion.

I miss the old time FB and Jeremy Allen was that guy. Good call.

Despite his baggage DJK was a top WR, good to see your mention of Hinkel and Brodell. I swear if Ed could get a finger on the ball it was a catch.

Colin Cole in the discussion for DT. Kroul was a good run-stopper.

Kirksey replacing Jewel, you are probably looking at somebody who didn't play MLB. A.J. Edds was a total stud there.

It's a fun discussion, thanks OP.

I wrestled with a few picks, but I didn't want all early guys, all recent guys, or leave out any era.

There's a few guys who I wish I included... Angerer, Edds, Jovan Johnson, and more

The quality of Iowa LBs is so high that Abdul Hodge hasn't been mentioned. It is arguable if he should be in the two-deeps, but he would sure be on the 105-man roster.

The kickoff team alone would be feared throughout college football.

Think you also need to specify receiver position (slot). And you need a fullback with how important that position used to be. All those DBs can be split out too, 2 corners, strong, free, and now cash. I’d also like a gunner… so I could include a guy like The Irish Car Bomb.

It's tough to leave him out, but can't include everyone ...especially when the OP's template calls for a 4-3 defense.

Not saying he isn't worthy, but damn, KF's tenure spans 27 years and dozens of All-Conference/All-Americans.

I will need to take some time and think this all out, but rest assure it will ONLY factor in their time AT IOWA ...not their NFL resume'.
