Klieman has never attended Iowa, never been a coach at Iowa, has no actual affiliations with Iowa other than growing up in Waterloo and attending/coaching at Northern Iowa. This sounds to be a case of “let’s find any successful coach with any ties to Iowa, no matter how remote those ties are. Then we will start the rumor mill that the coach really wants to coach at Iowa”. And maybe years ago before Klieman was the HC at NDSU he felt northern Iowa was his dream job. Just remove “northern” and now we can say in fact his dream job is indeed Iowa.
