There's one other interesting story Coach used to tell ... about Lou Holtz.

Lou was always fond of saying that Coach Dietzel had fired him when he was an assistant at Carolina (when Lou was an assistant here under Marvin Bass who Coach replaced), but Coach vehemently denied that. There was a good story to go with it but too long to tell here where it would never be appreciated.

I'll look forward to reading Lou's comments about Coach's passing in the next few days. Or perhaps he'll comment about it Thursday night.

A local group did a film about the history of LSU football called the Ole War Skule and obviously the 58 team was a big part of it

The interviewed coach about that team and he said that everytime the players/coach saw each other nowadays he'd look at their hand to make sure they were wearing their NC ring and he said they always had it on. And that it never failed that they'd tell each other that they loved him. He started to cry at that and that always stuck with me. Truly a great guy.

Scrooster, take as much space as you need to tell any old stories you have. Anybody "tl,dr's" it we will all RA for an immediate ban.

This is what these boards should be for. Old stories like this.
