Holtz was the master at making his team embrace the underdog card even when they had more talent. His typical presser, we something like this:

“Alabama is the best team I have seen on tape. They are simply incredible on board sides of the ball. We are just happy to be in this game…..”

The interesting thing about Holtz is he probably made more money doing speaking engagements than he did coaching. We tried to hire him at my company’s annual leadership event.
