Was Malloy the known successor when Holtz was hired?

Holtz was hired in the fall of '85. Malloy didn't take office until fall of '87. I don't think the hiring of Holtz had as much to do with protecting his successor as it was meant to rectify the HUGE mistake in hiring Faust. Holtz' was a great hire that still has effects.

Fr. Ted SAID he hired a coach so that his successor wouldn't have to.

I have no reason not to believe him. Did he know it would be Monk? Don't know.
