The Independence Bowl is a post-season NCAA -sanctioned Division I College football Bowl game that is played annually at Independence Stadium Holtz did not coach the Gophers in that bowl game, as he had already accepted the head coaching position at Notre Dame. His contract included a "Notre Dame clause" that allowed him to leave if the Notre Dame coaching job were to become available. [3]
Notre Dame
In 1986, Holtz left Minnesota to take over the then-struggling Notre Dame program and wasted no time turning it around. The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre Dame) (ˌnoʊtɚˈdeɪm is a private Roman Catholic Research university located in A taskmaster and strict disciplinarian, he got the players' attention right away at their first team meeting upon his introduction. Holtz had the names removed from the backs of the player's jerseys when he took over at Notre Dame, wanting to emphasize team effort. Except for the 1988 Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M, names have not been included on Notre Dame's team jerseys ever since. Although his 1986 squad posted an identical 5-6 mark that the 1985 edition had, five of their six losses were by a combined total of 14 points. In the season finale against archrival Southern California, the Irish overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit and pulled out a 38-37 win over the stunned Trojans. The University of Southern California (commonly referred to as USC, SC, Southern California, and incorrectly The phrase "USC Trojans" also refers to the University of Southern California student body in general

Although the Florida State Seminoles were defeated by the Irish in a battle of unbeatens during the regular season and both teams had only 1 loss at season's end (Notre Dame lost to seventeenth-ranked Boston College), FSU was then voted national champion in the final 1993 AP and Coaches poll.

He also took the Irish to bowl games for nine consecutive seasons, still a Notre Dame record.
First retirement
Holtz left Notre Dame after the 1996 season and walked away from a lifetime contract for undisclosed reasons. When pressed, all he would say was that "it was the right thing to do. " He was succeeded by defensive coordinator Bob Davie. Robert Edwin Davie Jr (born September 30, 1954 in Sewickley Pennsylvania) is a college football analyst and former American College football
In 1996, two members of the Minnesota Vikings's ownership board, Wheelock Whitney and Jaye Dyer, reportedly contacted Holtz. The Minnesota Vikings are a professional American football team based out of Minneapolis Minnesota. Wheelock "Whee" Whitney Jr is a Minneapolis philanthropist and politician who attended Phillips Andover with George H They wanted to bring him in to replace Dennis Green. Dennis "Denny" Green (born February 17, 1949 in Harrisburg Pennsylvania) is a former American football Head coach. [4] Of the rumors surrounding the reasons for Holtz's retirement, one of them was the possible Vikings head coaching position. [5]
South Carolina
After two seasons as a commentator for CBS Sports, Holtz came out of retirement in 1999 and returned to South Carolina, where he had been an assistant in the 1960s. The University of South Carolina 's 19 varsity sports teams are known as the Gamecocks, and USC is the only Division I school to use this nickname/mascot Holtz was famous for quickly rebuilding teams, but the South Carolina program had fallen to the worst level in its history. The year before Holtz arrived, the Gamecocks went 1-10, so Holtz was faced with possibly the greatest challenge of his coaching career. When the team went 0-11 during Holtz' first season, people around Columbia started to say things like, "If Holtz can't rebuild the Gamecocks, nobody can. Columbia is the state capital and largest city in the US state of South Carolina. "
During the off-season, Holtz campaigned for a "change in attitude," and the results were astounding. In his second season, the Gamecocks went 8-4, winning the Outback Bowl over heavily favored Ohio State. The Outback Bowl is an annual College football Bowl game played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Florida. The Ohio State University ( OSU) is a Coeducational public Research university in the state of Ohio. The eight-game improvement from the previous year was the best in the nation in 2000 and the third best single season turnaround in NCAA history. [6] In his third season, Holtz continued to confound the naysayers, leading the Gamecocks to a 9-3 record and another Outback Bowl victory over Ohio State. The nine wins for the season were the second highest total in the history of the program. It would also be the pinnacle for Holtz at South Carolina.
Second retirement
On November 18, 2004, Holtz announced that he would retire at the end of the season. Events 326 - The old St Peter's Basilica is consecrated 1302 - Pope Boniface VIII issues the Papal bull "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " His wife, Beth, had been struggling with her health for a number of years, and it was apparent that Holtz was worn out. On November 21, 2004, the South Carolina-Clemson brawl took place during Holtz' last regular season game. Events 164 BC - Judas Maccabaeus, son of Mattathias of the Hasmonean family restores the Temple in Jerusalem. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " The South Carolina-Clemson brawl was an on- field altercation during an NCAA game between football players from the University of South Carolina Instead of ending his career at a post-season bowl game, which was expected, the two universities announced that each would penalize their respective football programs for their unsportsmanlike conduct by declining any bowl game invitations. Unsportsmanlike conduct (or unsporting behaviour, or archaically ungentlemanly conduct) is a term used in many professional Sports to refer to a particular At his last press conference as South Carolina's coach, Holtz said it was ironic that he and former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes both would be remembered for "getting into a fight at the Clemson game" (referring to an incident at the 1978 Gator Bowl where Hayes punched a Clemson player in the neck after making an interception). Wayne Woodrow “Woody” Hayes ( February 14, 1913 &ndash March 12, 1987) was a College football coach who is best remembered Holtz also alluded to his assistance in recruiting his successor, Steve Spurrier. Stephen Orr Spurrier (born April 20, 1945 in Miami Beach Florida) is a former American football player and currently the head coach
Trouble with the NCAA
Over the course of his college career, Lou Holtz was involved with three different programs that were placed on NCAA probation for violations that, in part, occurred during Holtz's tenure, although in each case Lou Holtz was no longer with the university when the case was settled. The University of Minnesota was put on probation in 1991 for widespread violations across multiple sports, occurring between 1982 and 1986 [7]. Holtz's involvement in the transgressions included paying for a course a football player needed in order to regain eligibility.
Notre Dame was put on probation in 1998 for illegal benefits provided to football players by a member of a booster organization called "The Quarterback Club" [8]. The University was faulted, in part, for failing to follow-up on early reports of the boosters activities in a thorough manner, which might have prevented such violations. Additional violations involving the impermissible sale of complimentary tickets (occurring during the tenure of Bob Davie) were reported to the NCAA during the investigation, as well. South Carolina was put on probation in 2005 for "impermissible tutoring assistance, extra benefits, unethical conduct, failure to monitor and a lack of institutional control [9].
