What did Lou Holtz say about Donald Trump's assassination attempt?

In an interview with OutKick's Dan Dakich, the Hall of Famer said:

"How did such a thing happen? There had to be a mistake. He was shot, and only by the Grace of God was he not killed; what form of screw-up happened? Who is running the Secret Service?"

He continued:

"If you were doing it intentionally, you could not have screwed it up anymore in this world. You can't trust the media. Everyone has their agenda, and they try to push it. I do not worry about being politically correct; I worry about being correct, and that is way more important, but I do not think we seem to feel that way anymore."

When last did Lou Holtz coach?

The last time Holtz led a college football team was in 2004, when he was the head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks. He was at the helm when the program lost a close game to the Clemson Tigers, which prevented his team from playing in a bowl game.

Holtz remains one of the most successful coaches in college football history. He led six programs—William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame and South Carolina—and compiled a 12–8–2 record in bowl games. He won the 1988 national championship with the legendary Notre Dame squad, a SoCon Championship in 1970, the ACC Championship in 1973 and the SWC Championship in 1979.
