O’Keefe says goodbye | TheGazette
From article:
“It’s a unique opportunity,†O’Keefe said. “I’ve known Joe since he was 17-years-old. It’s hard to walk away from this because of [Iowa head coach] Kirk [Ferentz] and the kids, obviously, and the community of Iowa City, which has been so good to us, as well. It is a little unique because of our relationship, and the timing just happens to be right.â€
Philbin, who served as O-line coach under Ferentz and O’Keefe from*1999-2003,*moved from Green Bay’s offensive coordinator to Miami’s head coach on Jan. 21.*O’Keefe wasn’t clear on the timeline, but it sounded as though*the*deal*was finalized after*the national signing period began for recruits on*Feb. 1.
“There are a lot of other things that took place, but recently we were able to have a talk, after the signing day,†O’Keefe said. “It’s just a unique opportunity right now.*I’m so grateful for the time Kirk Ferentz gave us here at Iowa. It’s an unbelievable place.â€
