A year ago, I may not have been as excited about this option but I can now see it and think it would be a good move.
Davis retires in 2 years (I think next year has the chance to be really good again so no need to mess with cohesion.)and Brian Ferentz takes over as OC. A few yrs down the road, KF retires and Brian steps in as the new HC.
Does Brian have the organizational skills to be a CEO? The ability to manage a staff and bring in quality assistants?
I don't know for sure but he has been around it his whole life and worked under some excellent mentors. I like his chances.
Maybe KF even stays on in an advisory role. So long as he isn't in charge of clock mgmt, anything would be fine. But I don't think KF would do that. He would disappear from the public eye and would probably just stay out of it entirely. Allowing Brian to not have that distraction.
Bret Bielema? Do not want. No way. No how.
