AMERICAN FOOTBALL QUOTES
Quotes by Lou Holtz
On coaching his first and only National Football League training camp: "For lunch I have a cheeseburger with ketchup and a Tab, then I go back to my dorm, lie down and think, 'Thank God I'm in the big time.' "
Before the Jets finished that 1976 season, Lou Holtz walked away, saying, "God did not put Lou Holtz on this earth to coach pro football."
On the Minnesota weather: "Everybody here has blond hair and blue ears."
On the throwing of oranges on the field after Arkansas clinched an Orange Bowl berth: "I'm glad we're not going to the Gator Bowl."
On an $8.95 Lou Holtz doll: "My first reaction was that it was the ugliest thing I ever saw, but then I thought it does look like me."
On bad practice sessions: "I set my watch back and start all over again."
On any of his teams: "I'm convinced we're going to move the ball. I hope to God it's forward."
If he doesn't restore that Notre Dame tradition quickly, he too will be involved in what he calls a "replacement" year.
"That means," Lou Holtz once said, "if we don't do well, the coach gets replaced."
Lou Holtz has always joked about being "two steps ahead of the posse." But at Notre Dame, the coach never gets that much of a jump on the alumni.
