It will be fascinating if it comes to pass: Lou Holtz running for Congress in Florida?
The famed skipper and ESPN analyst met with top Republicans here last week and said he was interested in challenging first-term U.S. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, D- New Smyrna Beach, according to four GOP officials who did not speak on-the-record because they don’t know if Holtz actually will run.
Lou Holtz could not be reached for comment. An associate said he was flying to the West Coast for a meeting. Holtz has been one of ESPN’s premier college-football analysts since 2005.
Mike Humes, a spokesman for ESPN, said Holtz “told us [today] that he is committed to ESPN.” He would not comment on the length of Holtz’s contract and did not immediately know if the network had rules covering employees who run for office.
I can see Kosmas’ ads focusing heavily on Holtz’s one season with the New York Jets.
