That could still be a option. As of right now he can still appoint someone while he is in jail.

This guy must have huge nad's to do what he did so openly.

"No compact among men... can be pronounced everlasting and inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other."

George Washington, draft of First Inaugural Address, April 1789

Blagojevich should spend the rest of his miserable life in prison, making his toothbrushes out of toilet brushes.
