USA TODAY
Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz has died. Football was a big part of his story, but his life story was so much more than that.
Pull up a chair, and take a load off, everyone. And soak in the world around you.
Forget about football or winning and losing, or championships and near-misses. That’s the very last thing Lou Holtz would’ve wanted any celebration of life to include.
Not that football wasn’t part of Holtz's story, but that his life story — the last chapter finally played out Wednesday, March 4, after 89 full years — was so much more than that. This is about life and love, and finding the very best of who and what you are.
