No worry. I hated Holtz for leaving Minnesota but he seems to have been a good guy. And he was one of the funniest personalities in the game. Praying for peace for him and his family.

He got booked on Carson when he was Arkie’s HC. UA fandom was already uneasy with him because he didn’t do the rubber chicken circuit and kiss babies and booster’s butts.
When Johnny asked him about Fayetteville he said, “It’s not the end of the world. . . But you can see it from there.” Made Johnny laugh- Piggies, not so much.

Supposedly Holtz was asked where he was going to live when he took the Minnesota job.

"Indoors" was supposedly his reply.

He annoyed me when he coached at Arkansas because he was constantly complaining about Texas schools. Not just the University of, but all the SWC schools based in the State of Texas. Schtick got old.

But he was basically good natured, and certainly entertaining.

He's in hospice if he isn't dead already. RIP, and condolences to family and friends.

I just remembered a little incident I had with him. My first gig out of TCU was photography, and it was the year Notre Dame played in the Cotton Bowl. Vs UT I think. They were practicing at Smoo, and I went over and sat at the back of the far end zone with my gear to shoot the practice. Pretty soon I see Holtz talking to a suit and looking at me. Suit comes my way. Took him forever because they were about 60 yards away from me, but I knew what was up. Made me leave on the chance I was a spy. Hindsight I should’ve gone through proper channels but it was a spur of the moment idea. I’m gonna have to see if I can’t locate that film, I’ve got some shots of Lou and, iirc, Jerome Bettis in there.

Buddy of mine was in charge of hospitality several years ago when Lou was a special guest/speaker at the Army HS All American game. Lou’s special request to be waiting in the hotel room was a bottle of wine and a box of saltine crackers.

Saltine crackers deserve a Ken Burns documentary, imho. I spent many an hour as a young, waiting on my grandfather and his, “road buddy,” to finish their seemingly endless palaver on Road Buddy’s sprawling wraparound porch over saltines and stale coffee. I’m confident that thems older than me can attest in much greater detail to the importance of those cracks.

He'd somehow turn it into crackers are racist and were part of stolen land and the extermination of the American bison.
