The biggest thing I miss from Lou Holtz was his enthusiasm. His arrogance with class.
The sheer fact he could get the most out of a player. He was able to push the right buttons on players and made them believe.
His teams always believed damn right we belong on this stage and in this game. They backed it up as well. He had a way to get the team to over achieve at times when material was lacking. When he had the players they in fact won those big games. They weren't afraid of the grand stage. Something it appears to me to date this team is really lacking. That healthy arrogance.
Moreover he had a 6 year run that would rival anyone's in the history of CFB. If the playoff system would have been in place then he might have made the final four 5 of those 6 years. Once in those games who knows what happens because we all know Lou and the big game.
