More Vegas from my Dad
As most of you know, my family is from the central Pennsylvania area and we are big Penn State fans. (Yes, I hear the collective groans from Ms. Foley and Mr. Carey.)
Nonetheless, my father is in Las Vegas for a meeting with the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). For his firm, Inspirion Consulting, he is responsible for drumming up business.
The session's keynote speaker (which may draw another groan from the Foley-Carey ticket) was former Notre Dame, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Arkansas head football coach Lou Holtz.
"Lou Holtz was the keynote speaker and he was great and I even got to talk with him a bit before his speech.
"I asked him how long he thought JoePa would coach and he said, "Until Bobbie Bowden retires or dies."
"I asked who he thought would replace JoePa and he said at this point he thinks Tom Bradley, the defensive coordinator, would get the job and mentioned what a great recruiter Bradley was especially with getting the kids from Western Pennsylvania."
There you have it ... straight from Sin City!

Never a groan for Lou. He is a legend and we love him. He and his wife plan to be buried at the cemetery at Notre Dame. After alll, he said "the alumni buried me every week".
I agree completely with Mr. Carey. He's one of our greats, and you won't find a bigger ND fan on the planet. And, he's an Ohio Valley guy (from East Liverpool, OH), just like my family. No groans for Coach Holtz--we still love him.
Of your list of Lou Holtz teams coached, you left out Minnesota, where he abandoned the young kids he recruited (even telling them he wouldn't leave after recruiting them) to go to Notre Dame.
