Lou Holtz Said Brian Kelly Never Responded to His Letters at Notre Dame

While talking to reporters this past week, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz shared that while Brian Kelly was at the helm, he wrote him several letters over his tenure as coach. Unfortunately, Holtz said he never got a response.

“I write Brian Kelly maybe eight positive letters during his time at Notre Dame,” Holtz said. “And I go to the mailbox everyday hoping I’m gonna find an answer. He never responded to one of them. But that’s his choice.”

For context, Kelly spent 12 seasons with the Fighting Irish before he bolted for LSU during this past offseason.
