The weird beef between the two coaches began last Fall when Holtz predicted an Irish win over the Buckeyes during their

Ohio State RB Chip Trayanum plowed through the middle of Notre Dame's defensive line for a 1-yard touchdown on third-and-goal with one second left on the clock to seal the win. During a postgame interview with the NBC broadcast, Day, unprompted, went off on Holtz in a clip that went instantly viral.

It should be noted that 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.

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.

Lou Holtz famously called out Ryan Day for OSU's lack of toughness. Day then fired back at the former ND coach, who thinks Irish will win the natty.

In less than one week, head coach Ryan Day will have his second chance to win a national title at Ohio State. The Buckeyes are in the championship game for the second time under their head coach, and they'll be facing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the title in the biggest game of the year.

Last year, legendary Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz criticized the Ohio State Buckeyes for their toughness ahead of the regular season matchup between the two storied programs, prompting a pointed response from Ohio State coach Ryan Day when the Buckeyes beat Notre Dame in South Bend.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day and former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz haven't been on the best of terms but did the pair patch things up?
