| About Lou Holtz:
Under the leadership of Coach Lou Holtz, the University of South Carolina football program has achieved a level of success and respect that the school had never before attained.
As he begins his fifth season at Carolina and his 32nd season overall as a head coach, Lou Holtz continues to reinforce the fact that he is one of the game’s all-time greatest coaches and is unquestionably the premier program builder in the history of the sport.
Coach Holtz enters the 2003 season as the third winningest active coach and tied for eighth place all-time with 238 victories, while his 12 bowl game victories rank fifth on the all-time list. Most recently, he was the ultra-successful head coach at Notre Dame for 11 seasons from 1986-96, where he rekindled the football fortunes of one of the country’s most prestigious programs, claiming a national championship in 1988 and leading the Fighting Irish to nine consecutive New Year’s Day Bowl games.
Holtz has been the only coach to win a national championship in the same year both on the field in 1988 as well as in the classroom, as evidenced by the 100 percent graduation rate of Notre Dame football players in winning the 1988 CFA Academic Award. Three times during his stay at South Bend, his Fighting Irish squads achieved the highest graduation rates in the country.
Holtz has authored two best-selling books: "The Fighting Spirit", that chronicles Notre Dame’s 1988 championship season, and "Winning Every Day", that focuses on 10 strategies that can assist an individual in achieving success in his or her professional and personal life. A world-renown speaker and student of motivation, Holtz has championed countless charitable and educational causes.
