It is a complicated question, but thanks to Al Gore's Internet invention I was able to find some historical evidence that might help us date this living coaching fossil.

Much like George Washington, Lou cannot tell a lie so I checked the American Revolutionary War Archives and sure enough we have proof of Lou Holtz crossing the Delware with George Washington:

Still the wrinkles on his face still bothered me....so I did some more digging. Uncle Lou is obviously a pious man, because not just anyone can coach at Notre Dame. Perhaps the reason of why he was allowed to coach at Notre Dame is shown in the picture below:

It's amazing what you can find on the Internet....

Even though the evidence was piling up, I still wasn't convinced...there had to be more to those wrinkles and baggy eyes so I did some more googling...

At first I couldn't find anything...until I change my search parameters and typed in:

S-T-O-N-E A-G-E  O-F-F-E-N-S-E

Once again google shows why it's IPO deserved so much hoopla b/c it unearthed this little ditty of Lou Holtz in one of his early coaching jobs :

Finally, I decided that since I had already wasted a couple weeks searching for Lou's true age, another google search wouldn't hurt. So with armed with USF's finest Linux cluster driving my search I did the mother of all searches.

I finally had my answer:

Lou is as old as the Universe itself!

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
