I'll admit, I don't know much about Bettcher. If he's the best man for the job that sounds good. I was only stating that I loved the due diligance we did when hiring Lou.
In the past we promoted Guenther from within after losing Zim. I thought he was average at best.
We did the same with an OC that was horrible (was he a previous QB coach or something?). That was a disaster.
But we also stockpiled coaches in the past and Hue Jackson was a good in house promotion as OC.
Lou was like the last option lol
That wasn't due diligence, we lucked out with him. Bettcher actually has been a good DC in the NFL before. Lou came from no
where being a Secondary coach his entire career with the Fins and Giants. Crazy how good of a DC he has become. Blows my
mind. But I did have a thought that Bettcher was insurance in case Lou did leave. I just don't see it happening unless the Cards
offer him crazy amount of money which they don't really have with all the dead cap with Kingsbury.
Lou loves what he has built. Burrow loves the guy, the Offense loves the guy, Zac loves the guy, the FO loves the guy...
And teams are wanting Offensive minded HC's now more than ever.
