This was estimated to be in the neighborhood of $13,000 to $15,000. Holcomb succeeds Ted Payieur, who recently was switched to a position as assist ant business manager of Northwestern for promotion of athletics. Holcomb said he has not contemplated a change in the coaching staff at this time, but will talk with Head Football Coach B.
