what's the context here...
Sep 5, 2020, 5:10 PM
|

surrounding the interview?
Why was the actual interview cut off?
Just questions about the evidence presented, not a commentary on Holtz himself or the medal of freedom.

The circumstances were that he was in Coot purgatory and Balm doesn’t care about the rest as long as it makes Trump look bad
Actually, Lou Holtz is a poor example of a human being -- in some areas, he has a strong resemblance to TheRump. (Both are incredible narcissists.) If you check Lou Holtz's record you will see that (like TheRump) he is a serial cheater. He was smart enough to move-on just b4 the NCAA cracked down on NC State, Minnesota, Arkansas, and ND cheating. That means, the cheating occurred under his watch. I think he encouraged his players to fight with CU players since USC's season was over, and USC players kept CU from a bowl game. He should get no honors.

the context is that Lou Holtz is mentally unstable and has a long, documented track record of treating people poorly. In this case he was doubting the legitimacy of this interview team, accusing them of not being in sports, and took it out on a production assistant that was just trying to do her job.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded by the president of the United States "for especially meritorious contribution to
(1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors".
I fail to see where Lou Holtz, or Rush limbaugh for that matter qualify for this award. It is being made into a mockery.

A lot of notable sports people get the award, but Lou Holtz definitely shouldn't make the cut though. Nor should Rush Limbaugh.

I'm not a Holtz fan and didn't particularly care for his RNC speech...
So watching the video I can gather everything you said myself. That's not context.
Was he told something that wasn't true? That is not answered in the video. He seems to be irritated that they asked for a minute and he had been waiting for 5 minutes. But I don't know because I don't have any context.
The other problem is the interview is cut out. I think that is important to the context. I'm pretty sure if you follow me around you can film me being mad or impatient about something.

Franc, you have the same amount of info I do. I just saw that they were being very polite to him, and he was talking down to them and basically being an a>ss. He probably felt like he was being set up, IDK.
Anyway, Lou Holtz is allowed to be Lou Holtz. but he should not be seen as a role model or someone to champion. JMHO

it smacks of payback for endorsement.
Holtz was a good coach before he hit career killer SCar. I'm not sure what he's done to earn the Medal of Freedom.
I thought his comments about Biden at the RNC were wrong.

he had some pretty serious baggage at Arkansas as well, it went well beyond his political endorsement of Jesse Helms. Let us just say he was going to have a tough time recruiting the state of Arkansas after that.

I liked when he had the toilet paper stuck to his shoe. That was pleasing.

You aren't a Clemson fan if you support this.

Period. If you cheer this because of Trump, you've betrayed your university for a corrupt Coot.
Lou Holtz left every school he coached on probation. Every one. He's a corrupt, dishonest, senile coot. If you support this move, you don't love Clemson. End of discussion.
