The James Bettcher hiring felt like an insurance hiring. If Lou leaves, then he might be the guy. We also know the team was high on Al Golden. Have to wonder if the team would try to pry him away from Notre Dame or if they'd even consider Mark Duffner.
I think Duffner would probably be the successor. The problem if Lou leaves becomes how much of his staff does he take with him. He might offer Duffner or Bettcher the DC position. I'd hate, and I mean HATE to see Lou go, I can't remember many years since 1968 that our DB's and LB's have played so well, let alone the Dline. The defense, even missing Chido, is complete and I'm damn glad to have Lou.
