Former college football coach Lou Holtz and his wife Beth made it safely out of their $1.6 million Orlando home which officials say was destroyed by a fire likely caused by a lightning strike.

The fire broke out early Sunday morning in the 11,000-square-foot home in the gated Lake Nona Gold and Country Club community, which is known for its multimillion-dollar homes.

Holtz told the Orlando Sentinel he was awakened by smoke alarms about 2:30 a.m. He says he tried to go upstairs to grab his wallet and cellphone but there was too much smoke. The couple called 911 and ran outside.

More than 60 Orlando firefighters responded.


No word on whether Lou attempted to put out fire by spitting on it

Come on Lou. They teach you not to that in kindergarden. You can buy a new wallet you can't buy a new life.

Yeah seriously a wallet and cell phone?? If I were to run back up in a situation like that I wouldn't even consider those two things.
