Question about the final 2-3 years of the Holtz era...

In reply to: ND has lost assistant coaches before posted by El Kabong

In response to one of the threads below, many people posted that Kelly would probably be at ND for no more than a year or two. A few of those people also remarked that Kelly was probably getting closer to the point that he will burn out physically and mentally from the demands of the job.

Was there a sense between 1994-1996 that the Holtz era would likely be coming to an end, because of his longevity at ND and the likelihood of him burning out? During those final three seasons, did Lou have problems finding quality replacements for Assistant Coaches who left, because there was a feeling that Lou wouldn't be at ND for much longer?
