It sounds like Lou Holtz is nearing the end of his journey.
He may be entering hospice care shortly.

I filmed a BK commercial with him in the mid 90s & found him to be very nice man

My only three "interactions" with him
- My mom was a waitress at the Plymouth Holiday Inn where the team stayed on Friday nights. He was doing a bed check and walking around to each room, saw me and we waved at each other.
- Shared a flight with him from Indy to South Bend. In the boarding area an older guy with gray hair came up to him and explained he was a CURRENT student at Notre Dame. Lou praised him and couldn't have been nicer.
- Asked him a question on his SiriusXM golf show.
A class act is an understatement.
For many of us, when someone like this dies, it's an end of an era for him and for us.
Amazing coach and an amazing personality.
Not gonna lie, fellas. This makes me cry.....

Was right behind the ND bench at his last ND home game.
Clobbered Rutgers like 66-0, got his 100th win, and then had a stand brought at game’s end in the end zone, to address the students. Classy salute to a student body that always has Lou’s back.
We will not see his like again.
I was at the game also.

Love Lou. One of my fav quotes of his:
"Don't tell people your problems."
"90% don't care and the other 10% are glad you got 'em."
Classic Lou.
Hope he's in good hands.
The last great Notre Dame coach

Prayers for Lou. An original…in the best way.
Thank God he came to ND.
From his first game at ND, pops and I knew ND football would soon be back.

That’s a bummer. I love that he so easily gets under Ryan Day’s skin

Oh no! The guy had a lot to give others A guy who called himself below average intelligence-wise
proved that determination, common sense and great family values determine your overall outcome more than intelliogence.
Oh nooo one of the last few pillars of my early childhood

That was just self-deprecation. The guy was very intelligent, and quite quick witted.

I have always compared him to Columbo. The "graduating last in his class" stuff always cracked
me up. It could've just as easily been Columbo telling some haughty killer, "Oh, one more thing..."
I remember him saying he wasn’t bothered by
finishing last in his class, til the principal said it was a rather dumb class overall.
Classic Lou
This is correct. I had the honor of meeting him…
The first time at a speaking engagement he headlined and once at Notre Dame. Tom McMahon, DB coach under Holtz in Lou’s last year, invited me to come in the coach’s office if I was in the area. I took him up on the offer and I got to see Lou. I actually got a picture with me sitting behind his desk. Great man, kind, very intelligent, and he meant what he said. Prayers
He sure was, but maybe just a disinterested or poor student. I know it was self-deprecation. He had
a ton of quotes that were great and his Do Right video was off the charts awesome.
