Legendary Holtz ‘ND man’ always
For those of you who haven’t heard yet, we are in the midst of what should be called “Lou Holtz Weekend” at Notre Dame. The former head coach and current ESPN college football analyst will speak at Friday’s pep rally, have a statue dedicated for him Saturday morning and then be honored again at halftime of the game Saturday.
And why not?
The most obvious reason is that he is in the Mount Rushmore of Notre Dame football alongside Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian and Frank Leahy. Holtz left Notre Dame with 100 wins, second to only Rockne’s 105, and a national championship.
But alongside his coaching record at the University, Holtz is the ultimate “Notre Dame Man.”
I’m sorry for inventing a term just now, allow me to explain.
