Summary

Levar, 'Coach' Woods(to us) was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He eventually found himself in Iowa, where he attended West Lyon High School, and was Class 2A Player of the Year in his Senior Season. He committed to Iowa, a fun story that he goes into detail on, as a Defensive End in one of Hayden Fry's final recruiting classes. After 'getting his ass kicked' for his first 2 years he found time on Special Teams and reps on Defense where he started to have success. He would go on to play 7 years in the NFL before starting his coaching career. He got onto staff in Iowa City in 2008 and has been there ever since, coaching Tight Ends, Linebackers, and Special Teams during his tenure. He is now recognized as one of the best assistant coaches/coordinators in the country. He also, the day of this recording saw his son commit to his alma mater. We discuss all of this and more in our 100+ minute sit down with him.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!
