DE PERE (NBC 26) -- Former Notre Dame football head coach Lou Holtz will deliver remarks at a campaign event to support President Donald Trump.
The Catholics for Trump MAGA Meet-Up, hosted by Trump Victory, will be held at The Marq on Friday evening. The event starts at 5:45 p.m.
Lou Holtz is an ardent supporter of Trump, speaking on his behalf at the Republican National Convention in August. President Donald Trump announced earlier in September that he will be awarding Holtz with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Holtz’s coaching career spanned 44 years, 35 of them as a head coach. As a college head coach, he led William and Mary, North Carolina State, Minnesota, Arkansas, Notre Dame and South Carolina. He also briefly was the head coach of the New York Jets of the NFL.
After his tenure with South Carolina, Holtz was an analyst for ESPN. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
Holtz's scheduled remarks at a Trump campaign event comes after former Green Bay Packers Coach Mike Holmgren showed his support for Joe Biden in a virtual event alongside Green Bay's mayor, Eric Genrich.
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have made multiple trips to Wisconsin this year.
