Iowa State University performed the Coach theme song.

The Iowa State University's Cyclone Football Marching Band was the winner of a national contest for the right to play the Coach theme song. This wasn't the TV show's only tie to Iowa, however.

The name of the main character, head coach Hayden Fox (Craig T. Nelson), was in reference to longtime Iowa football coach, Hayden Fry. Show creator, Barry Kemp, is a graduate of the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts, and the exterior shots on campus were filmed at the University of Iowa.

Coach aired from 1989 to 1997. In addition to Nelson, it starred Jerry Van Dyke as defensive coordinator Luther Van Dam and Shelley Fabares as Coach Fox's girlfriend.
