from Iowa Everywhere · host 712 Media, Keith Murphy, Andy Fales, Murph & Andy, Chris Hassel, Chris Williams, Andrew Downs

Chad Leistikow is joined by Seth Wallace for a deep dive into one of the most consistent defenses in college football—and the mindset behind it. 🏈 Inside Iowa’s Defense: Why the Hawkeyes’ scheme isn’t as “simple” as it looks, how disguise and discipline drive success, and what makes their system so hard to replicate anywhere else. 🧠 Coaching Philosophy: Wallace opens up on learning under Kirk Ferentz, Phil Parker, and the late Norm Parker—and why those relationships have kept him in Iowa despite major opportunities elsewhere. 🔥 Player Development Stories: From Jack Campbell to Jay Higgins, Wallace shares behind-the-scenes moments that shaped Iowa’s linebacker pipeline. 🎙 Other topics include: • How Iowa disguises coverages from a two-high shell • Why halftime “adjustments” are overrated • Breaking down the plan vs Diego Pavia • The next wave of Iowa linebackers • Why culture and continuity matter Legends & Listeners presented by GameDay Men's Health.
