Succession planning if KF were to fall ill

[okeefe4prez]

My buddy posed an interesting thought last night - we saw Norm fall ill during the season and we all remember Dantonio's health issues that hit earlier in the year - if KF was suddenly ill, who would take over the program in the interim? I think it would be Ken O'Keefe. I think he is a good fallback option should anything happen and I think we would be in very capable hands if that were the case. Does everyone agree?

I'd prefer the OKeefe/Erb co-head coach combo.

Do you know something that we don't know? what are you planning?

Love the picture by the way.

Coach Campbell- assistant head coach at UM for 5 years. I would also look to Coach Kaczenski to take over on the Defensive side if Norm were to leave. Out of our staff I believe that these two are the only candidates to go on to bigger and better things similar to the coaches on Hayden's staff throughout his tenure. Tenured staffs can be good and bad for many reasons. If Barta had to look outside the current staff for a replacement I don't know who he would get that could be a good fit for us that hasn't burned a bridge like BB. That being said, I hope KF stays at Iowa until his current contract is completed.
