Iowa Hawkeye football captains Jim Hilgenberg (left) and Jim Caldwell pose for a publicity photo in Iowa City in 1976. Caldwell, a four-year starter for Iowa at defensive back under head coaches Frank Lauterbur and Bob Commings from 1972-1976, was named the head coach of the NFL Indianapolis Colts yesterday, replacing the retired Tony Dungy.
