September 6, 200917 yr There are two sides of "Dr. Lou". The comical side, mainly because of Lou. Some of the stuff he says and how he says it are hilarious. (And I don't think that's his intention) The coaching side. He throws in some GREAT quotes. Last night was something like, "Happiness is just having a short memory." There was another one, "If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven't done anything today." Great coach speak. :thumb: The best Lou Holtz story/quote was after the pre-game brawl against Miami in '88. He had his players in the locker room, and they thought that they were going to get ripped. He lights into them and says that that's not how they represent the University and all that stuff. At the end he says, "But if you have to fight, make sure that you leave Jimmy Johnson for me." The players, obviously, went nuts. :thumb: I remember that, I loved it.
September 6, 200917 yr Can't stand him his Notre Dame loyalty gets on my nerves! He said Charlie Weis was the most underrated coach in college football :lol:.
September 7, 200917 yr Everyone always talks about what a great coach Holtz is/was but I personally don't see it. IMO he is overrated. That's not to say he wasn't a good coach but I don't think he is near what most think he is. Look at his won/loss totals. Always got the max potential out of his players.
September 7, 200917 yr Look at his won/loss totals. Always got the max potential out of his players. I did, he had six or seven really good years at ND and had a decent run at Arkansas. Other then that his record isn't that impressive.

September 25, 200917 yr Granny was a part time Doctor. I enjoy the guy, but change the channel when he mentions ND.
September 25, 200917 yr Yeah, however they are still quotes you can't just make up. I know you'll bring up the internet; this and that, but I do feel they are usually genuine. He's been in the football business for over forty years, I hope he remembered something. :lol:
September 25, 200917 yr I'm with the ones that really don't care for him. I realize he knows a lot of football, but some of the things he says are way off base.
