Confidence Man

In case you haven't picked up on it, Lou Holtz is a snake.

He's left just about every program he coached in trouble. NCAA investigations follow him as surely and closely as a trailer behind a pickup.

His career is surely over now, but that doesn't mean we should just let bygones by bygones. As Ron Morris wrote in that article, Holtz is a con man, convincing fans, media and athletic directors that he is a man of principle and integrity - an old school guy. Instead, he's a cheat and a lier. It's a shame that there's no way to punish him directly.
