You are correct that No. 96 is Tom Boskey, one of the greats of ISU football at linebacker. Gannon did not play for ISU until 1978. No. 68 was a lineman from Chicago.

I think no one answered because most know who the coach is. The best football coach in ISU history - Earl Bruce.

You're welcome! Earle was a great coach.

That is my era when I was at Iowa State. Can you name the future Pro Coach that Earle Bruce had on his 1978 coaching staff that won a Super Bowl?

Correct. And John Fox was a secondary coach under Jim Criner. So the two head coaches in the last Super Bowl were both former ISU assistant football coaches.
