Lou Holtz is a college football coach, motivational speaker, and author. He coached at the University of Notre Dame from 1985 to 1996, leading the team to the national championship in 1988. Holtz is also a New York Times bestselling author, with one of his books, "The Fighting Spirit", focusing on Notre Dame's 1988 championship season. After retiring from coaching, Holtz worked as a college football analyst for ESPN until 2015. He has received honorary doctorate degrees and has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Holtz and his late wife, Beth, had four children, three of whom are Notre Dame graduates. He currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Holtz is politically active, supporting various candidates and causes. He has been critical of some aspects of modern college football, particularly the influence of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals and the unrestricted transfer portal, which he believes detract from the educational value of college football. Despite his criticism, Holtz remains a respected figure in the world of sports and continues to share his insights and experiences through speaking engagements and media appearances.
