It’s been less than two weeks since Ken O’Keefe announced his intentions to retire as Iowa’s Quarterbacks Coach, yet remain on as an off-field analyst. In that span of just 13 days, speculation has been rampant as to where the Hawkeyes would turn to replace the familiar face.
One of the potential outcomes put forth was for Iowa to avoid looking at a “QB guru” or hiring a QB coach altogether, and instead shift the internal staff around a bit and bring in the best available candidate. On Tuesday, the program announced they had done just that by bringing in former All-Big Ten and NFL linebacker Abdul Hodge to coach tight ends.
