Holtz enters the Hall of Fame with 249 career victories and is the only
coach to lead six schools to bowl games. Nationally, he is best known for
coaching Notre Dame to the 1988 national championship and winning 100 games with the Fighting Irish. McGee hired Holtz to replace Brad Scott after a 1-10 season in 1998. The Gamecocks were 0-11 in Holtz’s first season, but then went 8-4 and 9-3 in 2000-01 — the most wins by USC in a two-year span — and won back-to-back Outback Bowls. Holtz’s success waned his final three seasons at USC, with a pair of 5-7 records and a 6-5 mark in 2004 that was marred by a benches-clearing brawl between members of his team and Clemson players in the season finale. Holtz resigned the day after USC and Clemson officials decided to decline bowl bids because of the incident. His record at USC was 33-37.
So I ask you - Do you think Lou Holtz belongs in the Hall of Fame?
Spear from THE STATE says "yes" HERE and then Gillespie from THE STATE says "NO" HERE....what is your thought?

Of course ... he has been a fixture in College Football for a half-century (for better or worse)
Have to agree with Cash, for better or worse the guy has done too much for college football to ignore him. But seriously all these halls of fame are pretty ridiculous.
no brainer...too bad he was on government of south carolina payroll
