On one hand I'm sad at this news because Im a Domer fan. But I have to admit one of my fav Irish memories was his Notre Dame team losing 4 years straight to the air force academy back in the 80's. I lived in colo spgs at the time and seeing Davey beat Goliath like that for me was nuts

 

RIP Coach.

Personally, I never cared for him. That he was always in the news, showcased in a positive light, presented many hundreds of opportunities to change my mind. 
it didn’t. 🤷‍♂️

I read one of his books and saw him speak at a conference once.  Seemed like a really good guy.  RIP.

I was having a rough day of travel. Flight delayed, tight connection, absolutely starving.  Rushing to my next gate at O'Hare I see there is almost no one in line at McD's or Burger King or something it doesn't matter.  One guy in front of me.  He's ordered and all he needs to do is swipe a card and move on.  Instead he declares that he has exact change and dumps his little coin purse on the counter, spilling coins everywhere and then counts his coins at a snails pace while I fill up with rage.  After what felt like an eternity, I am about to push him out of the way and swipe my own card to end the agony when he finally finds the last penny and can complete the transaction.  Then he turns around and says hello like we aren't now mortal enemies.  And that man was Lou Holtz.  Wearing his College Game Day gear and a Notre Dame hat, unmistakable.  

 

He's probably a great guy but ***** Lou, you're rich!  Why are you counting pennies?
