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 never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.
Lou Holtz
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Lou Holtz
If he's got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don't hire him.
Lou Holtz
Remember this. Bear Bryant retired at age 69, and he died 28 days after he stopped coaching. If you don't have something, and a purpose in your life, you're gonna die.
