I would imagine that would give him ties to Holtz, having played for him and all.

when I say "non starter" that means that his ties to Holtz make him a non starter for the school as a candidate, not that he didn't start for Lou.

As an aside, it makes him a fantastic candidate in my book, and I don't recall how much he actually played (though I would imagine it is substantial). Would he deserve the job? No idea. Should he have been a candidate? Absolutely. Was he? I don't know, but I tend to doubt it (because of his ties to Holtz, IMO).

my apologies.

I don't think he played a snap. but he made the team as a walk on which says a whole bunch. He may still be the worst athletic director in the world but his loyalty is not in question
