Lou Holtz, ’59, one of the most successful college football coaches of all time, proudly received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Donald Trump in December.
Holtz is the only coach in the history of collegiate football who took six different teams to a bowl game, won five bowl games with different teams and had four college teams ranked in the final Top 20 poll.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Kent State University and a master's degree in arts and education from Iowa. Read about Holtz’s Kent State experiences excerpted from a 2010 interview:
