Lou Holtz on hospice

Sad to see this. I have a lot of memories of watching him on college football final every week as a kid.

I honestly didn't know he was still alive. I always liked him when I was a kid and college football was exciting.

He certainly made an impact on the game.

Not sure why they’d put this out there. Now Ryan Day and his nipple ring know where he is.

Lou didn’t take himself too seriously which is incredibly nice in the world of sports.

The orange bowl in the 70s was a classic.

When I was deployed back in 06-07, Lou Holtz and a few other coaches and business executives were in theater to give speeches on leadership. We got back from a mission late one night and I went into the chow hall to get some food. There were only a few of us eating and low and behold Lou Holtz came walking in. He sat with us for about an hour just talking about life and coaching. Many people don't care much for Lou, but he is one hell of a leader and man.

Praying for the Holtz family. My cousin is married to Kevin Holtz The few times I had met Coach Holtz was truly an amazing experience especially when he spoke at NIACC in Mason City!
