I sat backstage twice with Coach Holtz, for 2-3 hours each time, at different speaking
engagements. At the second talk he said, "Have we met before?" I said, "Yes, Coach, about a year ago at one of your talks in Arizona." I about dropped my teeth that he even vaguely remembered me. I gave him his space while he prepared for the talk, so conversation was minimal. I started rustling through some papers for a minute. I had brought an 8x12 of ND stadium all lit up at night. I said, "Coach Holtz would you......" and he interrupted me, and I thought he might holler at me since he was preparing. He said, "I was waiting for you to ask. Bring it over here. I'd be happy to sign it. I dropped another set of teeth. That broke the ice and we talked about all things ND for 20 minutes before he got called to talk. What a man. What a coach. You're always in my prayers, Lou. Rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Coach Holtz
But keep an eye on us and maybe give the ball a nudge or two if needed to bring home what they robbed you of seeing before you left us.
Not just a great man but a great coach as well. RIP to Lou.

My meeting with Lou happend this way. I befriended his secretary, Jan and one day I was visiting her
He came out of his office and she introduced me to him and I could see him look at me and measure me with his eyes. I must have passed the eye test because he then said you are welcome here if you are a friend of Jan's. He let me in his office. He had just gotten done being interviewed by the CBS game announcers, which included Jim Nantz, who came out chuckling as he must have been amused with the time he was in his office. Coach was charming and genuine.
Requiem aeternam dona Lou, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.

My Coach Holtz story, RIP coach.
My thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family of Coach Holtz.
No doubt there are many individuals who have a story to tell about Coach Holtz even if only it were a brief interaction. This is mine.

Godspeed, Coach. Never did I look forward to Saturdays as much as when he was coach.

I loved how he respected other teams even if they had little to offer. No trash talk.

Welp, that’s a loss for the good guys. Rest in peace, Coach.
You will not be forgotten. Met him twice, basically just in passing at events, but he was a class act all the time.
God Bless Lou Holtz and his family. I pray the Lord takes him into heaven quickly.

Fitting. Won the NC during the year Knute would have turned 100...
...perhaps (had he taken the train).
RIP. He certainly brought joy into my life during his time here. Thank you, Coach.

I'm sure before kickoff at the first home game there will be a nice tribute to Coach on the Jumbo.
There is a video tribute to Irish players and those associated with the program who have passed during the preceding year anyway. .
The world is a little less bright today. RIP Coach.

The last great ND coach.
All those who followed him have not met his bar.
He will be greatly missed.
I imagine he will be interred at Cedar Grove on campus since he had two plot's at one time and
Is the resting place for legendary football coach Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian, Moose Krause.
Yes, Beth is already there, waiting. If I
knew how, I’d post a pic of their headstone. A buddy sent to me this past fall.
I know he had previously said it was his intention to make that his final resting place.
