The White House has announced that 83-year-old former college football coach Lou Holtz will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday...
quote:His career record as a college football coach is 249-132-7 -- with 22 bowl appearances (he won 12 of them).
The award is recognized as the "Nation's highest civilian honor," according to the White House ... usually given to someone who has "made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public endeavors."
So, why Lou? Here's what Trump's team is saying ...
"America recognizes Lou Holtz as one of the greatest football coaches of all time for his unmatched accomplishments on the gridiron, but he is also a philanthropist, author and true American patriot."
