Lou Holtz
Lou Holtz is an American football coach best known for leading Notre Dame to a national championship in 1988.
After retiring from coaching, he became a television analyst and motivational speaker.
His folksy manner, pronounced lisp, and earnest aphorisms made him a recognizable figure: He sounds like Lou Holtz giving a halftime pep talk.
