This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yup. Vinny became Minnesota's recruiting coordinator in by Moff

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.
