Sad to hear. I wish he had stayed at ND. His second career didn’t do much for his reputation.

I was a Lou Holtz fan when David Thompson and he were at NC State ... then he lost his way ... and went pro
 ... then he repented, became a Hawg, and than a Catholic ... from the Bible Belt ....100% integrity all the way ... and he was a great coach too  !Edited:... oops.. too soon.. |

In my best Monty python " I'm not dead yet "
 . My mom had hospice care , those people do amazing work . Watching a loved one slowly die is not pleasant . I hope coach goes quickly and peacefully . His legacy is intact .

Lou Holtz was an incredible person who I admired deeply.

UM used to play ND every season. I remember the 10 years that he coached ND very well.
It was always one of the toughest games of the season.
