Lou Holtz’s Florida home sustains extensive damage after fire (Video)

The Orlando, Fla., home belonging to former ESPN analyst Lou Holtz suffered extensive fire damage Sunday following what fire officials believe was a lightning strike.

Fire officials were checking with meteorologists about lightning strikes in the area and believe that was the cause of extensive damage to the 11,000-square-foot home.

The home, which is reportedly worth $1.6 million, was engulfed in flames and took 60 Orlando firefighters to fight and more than three hours to extinguish. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries during the blaze, but there were not other reported injuries.

Holtz retired from ESPN in April after spending the past 10 years as an analyst. The Hall of Fame coach had several coaching stops during his career, most notably with Notre Dame where his team was a consensus national champion in 1988.
