Brutus Buckeye and Ryan Day fire back at Holtz's controversial comments after the Buckeyes secure the national title.

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.

Former Notre Dame head coach, Lou Holtz, is at it again. The former Fighting Irish head coach loves to keep his name in the headlines any way he can, and now he’s using a beef with Ohio State’s Ryan Day to do just that.

Lou Holtz became the target of Ohio State coach Ryan Day's post-game rant after the Buckeyes beat the Irish 17-14 on Sept. 23, 2023.

It should be noted Holtz was an assistant at Ohio State during the 1968 championship season under Woody Hayes, so he has a little Scarlet and Gray in him as well.

It's no surprise that Lou Holtz is picking Notre Dame to beat Ohio State for the national championship, but he took another little shot at Ryan Day in the process.

During Sunday's media availability, eight days before Notre Dame and Ohio State meet in the national championship game, Day was asked if he had spoken at all to Lou Holtz since the infamous viral moment and if things had been at all patched up between the two.

Ohio State and Notre Dame will square off in the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan 20 in Atlanta.

For this week’s Throwback Thursday post, I’m sharing a letter from Coach Lou Holtz, printed in the 1988 football review, “Lou’s Coup.” It reflects on how his team’s commitment, leadership, and belief in one another led them to a National Championship.

Marcus Freeman helped turn around the Notre Dame Fighting Irish after a disappointing loss to Northern Illinois and earned himself a prestigious honor as a result.
