“What we all need to take away from this funeral and Lou Holtz today is the lesson to care more about doing for others than you do for yourself.” — Skip Holtz, Lou’s son

This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today.
I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life.
He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.”
He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said.
“Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.”
And, just like that, he started walking again.
Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since.
RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

Wild: New Notre Dame WR Mylan Graham was asked what his biggest adjustment has been since transferring from Ohio State.
“Not too different, You just have to actually go [to class] in person… obviously everybody knows how it is with academics”

It was important that Lou Holtz and Marcus Freeman got this moment ☘️
Lou started spilling his keys to succes.
Marcus: I'm going to write this down ✍️
1. You have to be the most physical on the field.
2. We have to be the most fundamental.
3. Your players must care about one another.
4. Don't flinch.
