More quotes by Lou Holtz
It's always better to face the truth, no matter how uncomfortable, than to continue coddling a lie.

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.

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.

Lou Holtz
I give opinions, not advice.
Lou Holtz
If you want to get a deal, negotiate with the teams yourself. Say, I want this much, and no less, but I'll show up to camp on time. It doesn't seem that hard to me.
Lou Holtz
All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.
Lou Holtz

So what if someone wrote your obituary... that doesn't mean you are obligated to die.
Lou Holtz
An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.
Lou Holtz
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.
Lou Holtz
Attitude determines how well you do it.
