Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz told an Indiana television station on Wednesday that he doesn’t plan to run for Congress.
“I’m working for ESPN [as an analyst]. I don’t want to run for Congress,” Holtz said at a golf outing in Michigan. The comments were reported by WNDU-TV in South Bend, Ind., and later picked up by ESPN.com.
“All I’m going to do is fulfill the commitment to ESPN,” he said. “I’m prepared for it and then we’ll go from there.”
While not exactly a Sherman-esque statement, Holtz’s comments should serve to turn down the volume of the chatter that’s resulted this week after a Florida Republican strategist said the former coach might run there.
