Here's a look back at the Ryan Day-Lou Holtz feud and why the Ohio State football coach called out the Notre Dame legend in an interview in 2023

Fans couldn't help but make all kinds of jokes about Lou Holtz and Ryan Day after Ohio State football's win over Notre Dame.

Ohio State has embraced their new rivalry with Lou Holtz, and some Buckeyes fans trolled the legendary Notre Dame coach with an awesome sign during the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday night.

Holtz, 88, reignited their feud last week on X when he wrote that, “If Notre Dame doesn’t win, it’s because we want to preserve Ryan Day’s job. I was originally going to be at the game in spirit, but now I’ll be dragging my body along as well.” He was responding to a tweet wondering if he would attend the showdown.

Lou Holtz may not get to celebrate a Notre Dame title in Atlanta. Notre Dame is down 31-23 to Ohio State in the National Championship Game. The Fighting Irish allowed 31 straight points after opening the contest with a 15-play touchdown drive that lasted nine minutes and 45 minutes.

Lou Holtz has never been one to hold his tongue about anything. If he has something on his mind, he’s going to say it. So it honestly isn’t that shocking he threw yet another jab in Ryan Day’s direction without actually being prompted to do so.
