This resolution serves to honor the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Louis Leo "Lou" Holtz , a legendary figure in college football. It recognizes his extensive coaching career, during which he led six different programs to bowl games and transformed losing teams into winning ones, culminating in his induction into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 2008. Beyond his impressive collegiate record of 249 wins, Holtz is celebrated for instilling principles of character, perseverance, and teamwork in his players, famously teaching them to "do what is right, do it to the best of your ability, and show people you care." The resolution also acknowledges his post-coaching career as a respected analyst and motivational speaker, his receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom , and his philanthropic contributions, all of which underscore his profound impact as a teacher and leader.
