12 GAMES. 1,689 YARDS FROM SCRIMMAGE. ONE MVP. STILL NO GOLD JACKET.
In 1972, Larry Brown averaged 101.3 rushing yards per game and earned NFL MVP honors. More than 50 years later, he's still waiting for Canton.

There are moments in life when words just arenβt enough. Losing Coach Holtz is one of those moments.
Coach was so much more than a football coach to me. He was family. I still remember the day he came to my house to recruit me. He didnβt just sit down and talk to me about football or what I could do on the field. He talked to me as a young man. And he spoke to my mom the way a man should speak to a mother who was trusting someone with her son. He looked her in the eye and promised that I would be taken care of at Notre Dame. That moment meant everything to us, and itβs something Iβve carried with me my entire life.
Coach Holtz believed in people. He believed in building men, not just players. He welcomed my entire family into the Notre Dame family and always made sure we felt that love and support. Thatβs who he was. He cared deeply about the people around him, and he made every one of us feel like we mattered.
The lessons he taught me went far beyond football. His faith, his discipline, his belief in doing things the right way shaped who I became as a man, a father, and a leader.
My heart is broken today, but Iβm also filled with gratitude for the time I had with him and for the impact he had on my life. Coach will always be with usβin the lessons he taught, in the lives he changed, and in the love he gave so freely.
Thank you for everything, Coach. I love you.
You will forever be in our hearts.
