Remembering the legendary Lou Holtz. 🏈
The former @packfootball coach, who led the Wolfpack to four consecutive bowl games and a 33-12-3 record in four years, died on Wednesday at the age of 89.
“Never have I enjoyed coaching more than when I was at NC State,” Holtz said in 2023. “It was a great time with great people and great coaching. I was really blessed to be here.”
In his first season, the Wolfpack smashed every NC State total offense and rushing record, and topped them every year afterwards. Some of those records still stand more than a half-century later. Wolfpack fans loved him because of his success, his style and his ability to make them laugh.
