Yesterday at 06:25 AM1 day No. Former Arkansas, NC State, New York Jets, Notre Dame, and South Carolina head coach, Lou Holtz passed away at 89 after a month long stay in hospice.He won a National Title at Notre Dame, and as an assistant at Ohio State. May you rest in peace coach. Say hi to all the legends up there.
1 hour ago1 hr No. All, Very sure Coach Holtz coached at Minnesota for two years after he quit the Jets. Lou had been around and generally had a winning record wherever he coached except the New York Jets (and South Carolina (the 1st time)). Coach Holtz also worked at ESPN for several years (on a specific college football-related program during game day) where he debated Mark May before, during, and after college games. That was a great program to watch; Coach Holtz and Mark May were exceptionally well spoken, and were both astute observers, analysts, and overall, very knowledgeable. They must have had an incredible staff to put together all the vids between the debates. Those debates were like graduate level classes.My hat is off to both Coach Holtz and Mark May. Coach Holtz was a believer. VR, KCDuck1

Coach Holtz was a believer.VR, KCDuck1Mark May always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, until he was one of the few who predicted Florida would beat Ohio State in the 2006 BCS Title Game. I think that was more due to his hatred of Ohio State, but I don't care.Lou would always drive him crazy whenever he'd pick Notre Dame to beat USC, or any of those other big games that they'd eventually get blown out in. But Lou was loyal to the Irish till the end. I'm glad he got to see the Irish make that run last year.He is still the last coach to win a National Title at Notre Dame.
