For those referencing Lou Holtz....lets remember who he replaced and what the condition of ND was when he took over. Comparing his record to Freeman's in year 1 is laughable....especially since Freeman replaced Hizonner, the Grand Potentate.....Lord Kelly, the "winningest coach in Notre Dame history"...a man so humble and generous...he would have refused to accept the national championship trophy had he had won it...and instead would have given it to charity instead. In fact, he was so humble and generous, it showed in his championship games.
