REST IN PEACE COACH LOU HOLTZ

YOU WERE VERY KIND TO A YOUNG JOURNALIST FOUR DECADES AGO


To some, he was controversial.

I certainly hold the opposite political views of the late Lou Holtz.

But we shared a love of Kent State, where we both got our career starts.

He was very kind, patient and accommodating with me when I interviewed him in early 1985.

“I'm not the brightest guy, I have a lisp and a body that looks like it has suffered from beriberi and scurvy, but I've learned to build up my self esteem,”

Was Lou Holtz’s best quote in my Daily Kent Stater interview published 2-5-85.
