Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz has historically been a straight-shooter. Ask him a question and you’ll get his exact thoughts and feelings on the matter. He’s not concerned with what’s popular or socially acceptable. He’s only concerned with what he feels is right and wrong.
We need more Lou Holtz’s in the world.
Last week, the former Irish coach was a guest speaker at an event in Raleigh, North Carolina. During his speech, he gave his usual motivational talk about setting goals, regardless of age.
He also sounded off on modern coaching salaries, scoffing in particular at Dabo Swinney making more than $9 million a year.
