I'm not a disciplinarian. I simply enforce other people's decisions.
Lou Holtz

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

Image
In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

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.

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.

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
Image
You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be.
Lou Holtz
Image
You aren't going to find anybody that's going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.
Lou Holtz
Image
If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.

It's good to be successful but it's great to be significant
