00:00Legendary coach of Notre Dame football, Lou Holtz has died. He was 89. Holtz held the reigns of the
00:06fighting Irish from 1986 to 1996, winning 100 games, including the 1988 national title.
00:12Before joining the Irish, Holtz coached at William & Mary, NC State, and even made it to the NFL,
00:17coaching the New York Jets during Joe Namitz's final season. That one did not go well, but it's
00:23the Jets, so of course it didn't. He then coached at Arkansas and Minnesota before heading to South
00:28Bend. After Notre Dame, he wanted one more challenge, and so he turned around a flagging
00:34South Carolina team before hanging up the clipboard and the headset for TV, where he served as an
00:38analyst for ESPN. In 2020, he was awarded the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom
00:44during President Trump's first term. His wife of nearly 40 years passed that same year. They had
00:50four children together. Holtz's cause of death was not immediately known, but he passed in Orlando,
00:54surrounded by family.
