Lou Holtz At A Glance
Louis Leo Holtz (born on January 6, 1937 in Follansbee, WV) is an author, television commentator, motivational speaker, and former NCAA football and NFL head coach. Holtz is the only coach in NCAA history to lead six different programs to bowl games and the only coach to guide four different programs to final top 20 rankings. He is also a multiple winner of Coach of the Year honors. After growing up in East Liverpool, Ohio and graduating from East Liverpool High School, Holtz attended Kent State University. He was a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, played football, and graduated in 1959. Over the years, the slender, bespectacled Holtz has become known for his quick wit and ability to inspire players. In 2005 Holtz joined ESPN as a college football analyst. On April 21, 2007, Holtz made an appearance as an honorary head coach, along with Ara Parseghian, for Notre Dame's annual Blue-Gold Game, a yearly intra-squad scrimmage that marks the end of spring football practice for the Irish. Holtz guided the Gold team to a 10-6 victory.(...from Wikipedia)

- He who complains about how the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it.
- You never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him. If you burn your neighbor's house down, it doesn't make your place look better.
- Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
