ND Future

For the ND fans out there....Coach Hennessy has been a great coach for the Dons for many years. Looking down the road, who would fit as a potential replacement if he decides to retire? This is purely hypothetical and I have no knowledge of Coach calling it quits any time soon.

Lou Holtz did pretty well in his last stint with ND. Give him another shot?

It would appear that they already have his successor in the building. The D-Coordinator, Dan DeFranza has been there for probably 20+ years. He is an alum. He works in the building as a teacher.

DeFranza all the way!

I’d imagine that it would be Dan DeFranza He played for Coach Hennessey and has been coaching with him for 25 years.

SCONNIE.

Seems a bit untested. Needs more experience, IMHO.

Dan DeFranza is basically co head coach now. Hennessey is Coach Emeritus.
