Dammit. RIP, coach.

Have a few Holtz stories. Will go down memory-lane today.

He always wanted to be the Notre Dame coach. Got to live out his dream. And did it well.

First thing that comes to mind = 1988. It wasn't a PERFECT team. More like different pieces that came together and played well as a team.

Holtz mentions the tough schedule at start of this clip. That sticks out to me.

Before the Playoff system, you rarely had a team that went thru the gauntlet. It was usually beating a couple top teams. 1988 Not Dame really cleared out most of the teams in the top half of the Top 10.
