H.Res. 1122 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the life and legacy of legendary college football coach Lou Holtz, who passed away in 2024. The resolution recognizes Holtz's extraordinary 34-year coaching career at six universities, during which he compiled 249 wins and became the only coach in college football history to lead six different programs to bowl games. Beyond his coaching achievements, the resolution highlights his character-building philosophy centered on three principles—doing what is right, doing it well, and showing people you care—as well as his later work as a sports analyst, bestselling author, and motivational speaker. The resolution also notes that Holtz received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2020 and that he and his wife Beth were generous supporters of student-athlete scholarships throughout their lives. This resolution has no fiscal impact or implementation timeline, as it is purely a statement of the House honoring Holtz's contributions to college football and American leadership.
