GAINESVILLE — Former Notre Dame and South Carolina coach (and current ESPN talking head) Lou Holtz visited Florida practice Monday morning, spoke with several players and gave Urban Meyer his take on the team.
The two coaches have history together. Holtz hired Meyer as wide receivers coach at Notre Dame in 1996. Monday, Meyer called Holtz (pictured, back in his USC days) the”greatest motivator I’ve ever been around.”
“Obviously he’s an encyclopedia of college football, a resource,” Meyer said. “I wanted him to come watch our practice.”
Meyer said Holtz, who wore a blue Florida cap and carried an item of Gator clothing as he left the practice fieldk, wanted to see for himself if Tim Tebow could throw. “I think he was pretty impressed,” Meyer said.
