More quotes by Lou Holtz
The best way to save face is not to use the lower half.
Lou Holtz
Build your empire on the firm foundation of the fundamentals.
Lou Holtz
When I work a game as an analyst, all I do is look at the game like a coach. Why was something successful? What makes it work? I just try to use my expertise and whatever insight I have to the game.
Lou Holtz
I was born January 6, 1937, eight years after Wall Street crashed and two years before John Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath, his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the plight of a family during the Great Depression.
Lou Holtz

Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.

At age nine, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest. When I didn't collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
Lou Holtz
I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.
Lou Holtz
It's always better to face the truth, no matter how uncomfortable, than to continue coddling a lie.
Lou Holtz
It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.
Lou Holtz
The team that's on defense first (in overtime) has the advantage because they know whether they need a touchdown a field goal or just a score.
Lou Holtz
I'm not a disciplinarian. I simply enforce other people's decisions.
Lou Holtz
If you are killing time, it's not murder. It's suicide.
Lou Holtz
Don't ever ask a player to do something he doesn't have the ability to do. He'll just question your ability as a coach, not his as an athlete.
Lou Holtz
My wife doesn't even want to spend 2 hours with me.
