Coach

Lou

Holtz

Slender and bespectacled, came to Raleigh in the fall of 1971 with a reputation for salesmanship and offense —notwithstanding the fact that his boyish demeanor gave him the look of, say, a kindly professor of English. “I know how I look,” he told his first press conference at North Carolina State, “and I can’t help it. But I can throw a clipboard as good as any coach who’s six—foot-four, and I like to win.” And win he has. Thankfully, we do not judge books—or football coaches— by their covers, for if we did, Lou Holtz might never have been permitted on a football field at , where he was a ISO—pound center and linebacker. And he might never have become a coach. He is the first to admit that he does not resemble the traditional image we conjure of a coach. But that matters not. What is important is what’s inside a “We’ve had some outstanding athletes man, and inside Lou Holtz beats the the last couple of years,” he said, “and heart of a winner. some success.

Among Holtz’s paperwork is filling “What do I like most about my job? requests for his book, “The Grass Is I like the preparation for a big game Greener.” He has written articles before and the strategy on the sidelines, when for professional magazines, but the you have to make split—second decisions. success of his twin-veer offense led to so And I like the locker room after a win.” many requests for information that he He likes the people he meets through has put the material into book form. football, as well.

C. State failed to repeat in its bid for the Atlantic Coast Conference title, coach Lou Holtz and his Pack achieved a major milestone during the 1974 season, knocking off the nation’s two “winningest” active coaches in back—to—back games. After rising to a No. 8 ranking nationally with victories in its first six outings, the Pack stumbled against league foes UNC—Chapel Hill and Maryland before bouncing back to nail South Carolina, 42-27. Then came two of the most stunning triumphs in school history. The first victim was coach and his nationally-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions, and the following week, it was coach and Arizona State in the Sun Devils’ own backyard. Paterno entered the ’74 campaign as the coach with the best won- lost record in the business, a sparkling .847 mark on a 74-13—1 work- sheet. But his Lions headed back to Pennsylvania on the short end of a 12-7 count, conquered by a savage N. C. State defense that closed the doors until the final 43 seconds. Against Kush and Co., whose record was second only to Paterno’s at 132-34-1 and .793, the Wolfpack performed almost flawlessly in fashioning a solid 35-14 Win. The two victories gave State a 9-2 overall record, finest in school history since 1927.

Dr. John T. Caldwell Chancellor

North Carolina State University is a large and complex state university, one of the major state universities of the nation. It shares the distinctive character of Land-Grant state uni- versities nationally—broad academic offerings, extensive public involvement, national and international activities, and large- scale extension and research programs. State was founded as a Land-Grant state university under terms of the famed federal Morrill Act of 1862 which provided for public land endowments to support a college in each state. The Land-Grant heritage of fulfilling three major functions— research, extension and academic affairs—is reflected in the large dimensions of these functions at North Carolina State Uuniversity. The rich and varied academic program of the University is comprised of some 70 bachelors of arts and science programs, 67 master’s degree fields and 45 doctoral degrees. The Univer- sity offers about 2,300 courses. Its research activities span a broad spectrum of about 700 scientific, technologic and scholarly endeavors, with a budget of about $20 million annually. Extension programs of the University are similarly diverse and include urban affairs, marine sciences, environmental protec- tion, engineering, industrial and textiles extension, agricultural extension and many others. The annual University budget is about $85 million. The University has 4,600-plus employees. There are 1,621 faculty and professional staff and 157 adjunct and federal agency faculty, including 974 graduate faculty. There are 120 campus buildings with an estimated value of about $150,000,000. The central campus is 596 acres, though the University has 88,000 acres, including one research and endowment forest of international enrollment is aidistinctive feature of the institution 78,000 acres.
