Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina. He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.
Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized.

“No. I only got old.”
"Cool Papa" Bell, when asked if he ever grew tired of playing Baseball.
"He was faster than Maury Wills, Lou Brock and Mickey Mantle, even when Mickey had good legs.
He was faster than Bo Jackson and Kenny Lofton.
Baserunning isn’t only about speed.
It’s about technique, cutting the corners and keeping your balance.
And "Cool Papa" Bell , he was a master of all that."
Buck O`Neil.
“If "Cool Papa" had known about colleges or if colleges had known about "Cool Papa', Jesse Owens would have looked like he was walking.”
Satchel Paige
Bell was clocked rounding the bases in 12 seconds.
Very few players, even today, can run 120 yards in 12 seconds going straight ahead!
"They say I was born too soon.
I say the doors were opened too late."
"Cool Papa" Bell.
“He said I could have been one of them.
He said I had power and I could run, two most important requirements in Negro League.
And there I was in my day, a big leaguer who felt like he lost out because he never got chance to play in Negro Leagues"
Dick Allen on "Cool Papa" Bell.

So devastated to hear about the passing of Terrance Gore. I will forever remember his kindness and smile as much as his game-changing speed. #RIP#ForeverRoyal
