Lou Holtz, former Notre Dame head football coach from 1986-1996, has reportedly entered hospice care. After rumors began circulating across message boards over the weekend, multiple beat writers covering Arkansas and Notre Dame football began reporting the news on Thursday evening. After a two-year stint at Minnesota, Holtz was hired in 1986 to rebuild the storied Notre Dame football program. Holtz’s family also endowed The Beth and Lou Holtz Family Grand Reading Room on the first and second floors of Hesburgh Library on Notre Dame’s campus. The University of Notre Dame and the Department of Athletics have yet to release an official statement on the development.
