Lou Holtz Dies at 89

Lou Holtz, the legendary college football coach who led Notre Dame to a national championship in 1988, has died at the age of 89. Holtz's death was confirmed by his family on Thursday.

Holtz took over the struggling Notre Dame program in 1986 and immediately transformed it into a national powerhouse. His 1988 team went 12-0 and claimed the national title, marking the first championship for the Fighting Irish since 1973. Beyond Notre Dame, Holtz also had successful stints at Arkansas, Minnesota, and South Carolina, compiling a career record of 249-132-7 and being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
