\"louholtz-ap.JPG\"<\/span>The Orlando Sentinel reports<\/strong>: Former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz says the profession has taken a turn for the worse since he was walking the sidelines in South Bend and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

“You didn’t feel threatened by everybody,” said Holtz, who coached the Irish from 1986-96.<\/p>\n

“Most I ever made was $135,000. It wasn’t about money. You just enjoyed what you were doing and you had a security about what you were doing. You didn’t have the Internet and everybody getting fired and offensive. On Friday night after we put the team down, we’d go have drinks with the media … It’s changed, and it hasn’t changed for the better.” <\/span><\/p>\n

On the player-mistreatment charges involving Mike Leach at Texas Tech and Jim Leavitt at South Florida, Holtz said: “I grabbed a facemask on a player because I wanted to make sure I had his undivided attention. He had done something to a player that wasn’t reflective of the game we teach … I probably shouldn’t have done that.”<\/p>\n
