Notre Dame to honor Lou Holtz with special helmet decal
Lou Holtz is considered one of Notre Dame's greatest football coaches. Following his passing, the Irish are planning to honor him with a helmet decal.
Notre Dame is set to honor the late Lou Holtz after the team unveiled a special helmet decal dedicated to one the Irish's most legendary coaches.
Holtz passed away at the age of 89 in March , a couple of months after his family announced he entered end-of-life hospice care. The Irish plan to remember him with a helmet decal that includes "LOU" in white, cap-sized letters with a black background and two hands with fingers pointing up.

Holtz compiled a 100-30-2 record during his time at Notre Dame from 1986 to 1996. The 2008 College Football Hall of Fame coach led the Irish to a 12-0 record and the program's 11th national title in 1988.
From 1969 to 2004, Holtz also coached at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota and South Carolina – plus a season with the New York Jets.
William & Mary football plans to honor Holtz prior to its season opener against Delaware State on Saturday. Holtz was an assistant coach for the Tribe in 1961-63 and a head coach from 1969 to 1971.
