Maybe it's in the contract - "Lou, you have to take the underdog every week, although it makes you look like a slobbering arse, so that Herbie, Mark, and the rest of our crew look like they actually know what they're talking about.........."
Works for me.... about the best explantion I have heard to explain some of his horrible, abscent minded, confused, babbling, pics and explantions he comes up with week after week... one has to assume his football IQ is much higher, considering the success he had as a coach(at one point)..... Then again, at the time he was successful, ND was still a powerhouse and garnered alot of good players, now they go elsewhere to more successful programs.... and he never did much at South Carolina, maybe its not a goofy act, he may really be goofy...

Could be, but I think in addition to obvious recruiting advantages he had at ND during his time, he was also a great coach. He had lost a step by the time he hit USCe, which coupled with inferior recruits meant he could never reach the same level. (See Spurrier, though the HBC seems to be fairing a little better)
His goofiness I think is just accentuated by his age, and the fact that ESPN makes him the punch line weekly by having him talk up the underdog.....
