Another Holtz on coaching scene "". ".  of notre Dame Mentor a reefs us inn Fafe by William n. Wallace the new York times storks Conn. Louis Leo Holtz or. Hides Noth ing., a would he be the University of Connecticut s new 30-year rold head football coach with a four year $380,000contract if his name were skip Smith rather than skip Holtz r hardly. I m not naive said the son of notre Dame s Louis Leo Holtz i age 57, and the father of Louis Leo Holt Iii wage six months. I m sure my last name has helped to get me where i am. But it s not going to keep me Here. If i go 0-11 for four years they won t care if my father s Bill  m  he has some credentials seven seasons As an assist ant Oach at Florida state Colorado state and notre Dame the last two As the offensive coordinator for the fighting Irish. But he denies he is a child of nepotism. There was no one on the staff at notre dam saying look How easy he s got it " skip said. They were All saying tin glad i m not Lou Holtz soon. He was hard on me harder that on most of the assistants. But it had to be that Way for me to be accepted. And i understood  it is Only a coincidence that his father was once a assistant coach at Conn under Rick Forzano in 1964, when skip was born i a Hospital in nearby Willimantic. Five years later the senior Lou was a head coach at age 32, at William & Mary. Then the family moved on to North Carolina state to the new York jets to a Kansas Minnesota and notre Dame. Skip an escort to the malamute Mascot at North Carolina state find a Ball boy for the jets always loved football. But As an undergraduate at notre Dame he majored in business management and Hope to become an entrepreneur another Donald Trump he  y. -. In december 1986, after winning a letter As a Spe Cial teams player for the fighting Irish he decided to give coaching a try. If he failed he could always Start out again in business at age 30. But it would t work the other Way around. I could t see myself going without football the rest of my life he said. So i had to give coaching a  first year coach skip Holtz 30, has the Ball at Conn. At first his parents were not thrilled with his announcement. We expected you to go out and someday run a big corporation said Lou who then issued his often quoted warning when you Tell your Mother make sure she s not  parental support soon came and after graduation skip went off to Florida state to be a graduate assistant on the staff of Bobby Bowden three of whose so Shad become football coaches the Holtz heir insists i m not trying to be the next Lou Holtz. All i m trying to be is the first  there has been some inheritance. Like his father skip can talk and talk. At the first team meeting with the Conn squad last january he talked for an hour and a half mostly about goals and he repeated the themes when fall practice began two weeks ago. I could have gone on for three hours he said. The senior Lou has been described As something of a Martinet and his football teams do not resemble democracies. Skip says he made it Clear from the Start who would be in charge of the huskies. The inmates Are no going to run the prison he said.  the players have responded. After Spring practice receiver Brian Reid said we be really come together and understand what we re trying to accomplish an that s to win a  Brian Gleason a defensive lineman added it s like instant Pride  de Long the Star running Back said Holtz had brought new life to Conn football. There Are mixed signals As to where Conn football is supposed to go. At the Holtz hiring announcement last dec. 22, athletic director Lew Perkins said we wanted Toli ire someone that sent a message to the rest of the country that we re serious about  at the time plans for a major stadium in Hartford were still alive one to House a National football league team like the new England patriots and the Conn team should the University choose to elevate it program to the division i a level. The stadium project is on hold if not dead and Connecticut will remain a member of the Van Kee conference playing at the i a level. Hotly has set a i a National championship As the ultimate target and then in descending order a Confer ence championship the huskies first Ever inclusion inthe i a playoffs and a winning season. Last season coach Tom Jackson s Lith the record was 6-5 and expectations for a better season Are questionable. V " -. Or. Harry j. Hartley the president of the University who pays Sharp attention to athletics estimates that it would Cost $3.5 million for Connecticut to step up its program to the i a level and to join the big East As football partner. A trustees committee is to report on its feasibility study this month. But nothing is Likely to happen with in four years Hartley said. So Conn football for the next four years belongs to skip Holtz. Will he succeed or fail Well find out soon enough he said. ,1111 pens its season at Home saturday against Nicholls state la. Sports scoreboard Tennis .
