Lou Holtz
One thing about me is I try to be honest.

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 follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.
Lou Holtz
I give opinions, not advice.
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

Lou Holtz
You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.
