Lou Holtz: 'I don't want to run for Congress'

Published: August 6, 2009
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz told an Indiana television station he doesn't plan to run for Congress in Florida.
Holtz told WNDU of South Bend that he's focusing on working for ESPN, saying: "I don't want to run for Congress."
The 72-year-old Holtz made the comments Wednesday at a golf outing in nearby Bridgman, Mich. A GOP strategist said Tuesday that Holtz was considering running as a Republican for the Central Florida congressional seat held by Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, a Democrat.
Holtz has never run for office. He has worked as a football analyst at ESPN since retiring from his last coaching stint at the University of South Carolina at the end of the 2004 season.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday at Holtz's office in Orlando. His secretary said he was traveling and not available for comment.
