Why did Lou Holtz resign as NY Jets coach?

Answer 1

When Lou Holtz decided (Not the University) to quit coaching at Notre Dame (1996), his decision was based on refusing to compile more wins then Knute Rockne, who had 105 wins and Lou at that time had 100 wins, he felt if he stayed one more year he would surely pass up Rockne and he felt Rockne made Notre Dame Football what it is today and he refused to do that, that's Integrity!
