PRAYERS FOR COACH HOLTZ🙏🙏

[Jimmy3Putt]

I used to pretend I was trying out for his Irish team when we were getting thrashed in basic training. Lou motivated me without even knowing.

RIP

Saw someone post we should wear the 88 jerseys for a game this year. We should absolutely do it for Miami

Should wear the ‘88 shoulder pads for a game, too

I remember an interview w/ Bevaqua when he was hired regarding Coach Holtz. As y’all know, Pete was a walk-on at ND. He was told by someone who asked Coach Holtz about his time at ND that Holtz said he “Had a heart of a lion”. Later Bevaqua learned that is the phrase Holtz used when describing a former player that he couldn’t recall but wanted to say something positive about the person.

I can't hear the 1812 Overture without thinking of Lou. They still do it every game of course since he left, but I feel like it's always tied to him first and foremost.

I had the pleasure of having dinner with Lou on multiple occasions, thanks to a close mutual friend. It was always at our friends house. Nothing fancy, just casual dinners. I had never met Lou before but he treated me like he had known me since I was a kid. I never met a more quick witted human. The thing that always stuck out to me is that he always remembered me and treated me like I mattered. Which is crazy to me because this man had met and was in constant communication with more people in one year that I have been in my lifetime.
RIP to not only the greatest ND coach of my lifetime but to one of the greatest people I have ever had the honor of meeting.

It's less exciting when you realize "dinner with lou at a friend's house" means watching Marcus have dinner with Lou through binoculars.

They always left their table scraps on the back door steps for me when dinner was over
