August 1985, per his 1987 Football Guide profile. So that was the beginning of Lou's second and final season there. He had been a GA there during the 1983 and 1984 seasons, so already a GA there while Lou was coaching his last season at Arkansas in 1983. Lou made him recruiting coordinator at Minn.

He was a GA at Iowa State during 1982 season, where he had played QB for two years before switching to flanker his last two seasons, graduating in 1981.

Below is a really old school profile of him re high school career. I never knew he was a also hockey standout.

He was also, at least nominally, the QBs coach for 1986 season. In reality, Louis Leo Holtz was the de facto QB coach and the Offensive coordinator/playcaller. Pete Cordelli coached the WRs; Mike Stock (having also coached for Ara and serving as two-time Co-Captain and leading rusher for him at Northwestern) coached RBs, Tony Yelovich coached O-Line, and George Stewart coached the TEs. Saw Coach Yelo at an event last September and happy to report he is still going strong.
