IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa veteran defensive coordinator Norm Parker will coach from the press box today because of an illness.
Parker, 68, normally spends games on the field. He has battled diabetes for years and coached from the box for much of the 2004 season after having a toe removed from his foot. Parker had another toe removed before this season because of an infection.
