Legendary former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz died Wednesday, March 4, at 89 years old. The program he led to the 1988 national championship posted a tribute to the College Football Hall of Famer shortly after.
"Lou Holtz was more than a football coach," the narrator said to start the video. "He was a leader, a motivator and a symbol of Notre Dame excellence."

Holtz, who became a famed college football analyst after his coaching career was over, was most known for his 11-year stint with Notre Dame, although he also was head coach at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota and South Carolina.
Holtz led the Fighting Irish to a 100-30-2 record during his stint, with four top-five finishes and five top-tier bowl wins. He led Notre Dame's revival as a power program after five years of mediocre seasons under Gerry Faust from 1981-85.
