Maybe someone upstairs with access to video of the previous play didn’t get a good look at it and buzz him until right before the kick.
That depends on which team he bet on...Not sure he made much money off of that challenge though…
Oklahoma, Clemson and Georgia seem to be overrated also.The biggest "if" in this game for me is what if FSU didn't go for it on 4th on their own end in the 3rd quarter? Norvell almost won in spite of all his dumb decisions.
And ND seems to be drastically overrated as per usual...
Brian Kelly should never speak in public, even his explanation his cringeworthy comments!.
Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly said he was joking when attempting to echo a quote from former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach John McKay following Sunday's 41-38 overtime win at Florida State.
When asked by ABC's Katie George about Notre Dame holding off a furious Florida State rally, Kelly replied, "I'm in favor of execution. Maybe our entire team needs to be executed after tonight. We just didn't execute very well."
The ninth-ranked Fighting Irish led 38-20 entering the fourth quarter but were outscored 18-0 in the final 13:42 of regulation.
During the Buccaneers' inaugural season in 1976, when the team went 0-14, McKay once was asked about his team's execution. He famously replied: "I'm in favor of it."
"It's an old John McKay quote," Kelly told reporters in Tallahassee. "I was kidding. It was tongue-in-cheek. It wasn't funny? ... I was talking and making a joke about it. It was taken serious? Are you people crazy?"
Kelly's comment to ABC immediately generated strong reaction on social media.
Before his Tampa Bay tenure, McKay coached Southern California for 16 seasons and won four national championships. He became a College Football Hall of Famer in 1988.
"It's a John McKay quote that he used after a game," Kelly said. "I was stealing one of his old quotes and being funny, because nobody likes to be funny anymore. If you want to take me to town on that, please do."
I had to go out and buy some new shoes for the new/old job. I was listening to the radio and they are still talking about this. Kelly is still saying he was quoting McKay. I am pretty sure McKay's quote was about execution of plays and not actually murdering the team, but I could be wrong. McKay had some great quotes over the years. I hate McKay's son. That has nothing to do with the quote. I just wanted to say it. I hate John McKay's son.
McKay - as Tampa Bay coach - was asked, "What do you think of your team's excution?" He said, "I'm in favor of it" or "I'm all for it" (depending on the source you read). He was clearly joking and SO WAS KELLY!!! I just thought it was an awkward attempt at an obvious joke. Anyone who reads anything beyond that into Kelly is just plain out of their minds.I had to go out and buy some new shoes for the new/old job.

yeah I am not offended at his take on the joke. I think he completely doesn't get the joke, what the joke was referencing, etc. Or hell... I never did.McKay - as Tampa Bay coach - was asked, "What do you think of your team's excution?" He said, "I'm in favor of it" or "I'm all for it" (depending on the source you read).

Oh I got that it was a joke. Kelly just didn't quite get the joke the right way.McKay - as Tampa Bay coach - was asked, "What do you think of your team's excution?" He said, "I'm in favor of it" or "I'm all for it" (depending on the source you read). He was clearly joking and SO WAS KELLY!!! I just thought it was an awkward attempt at an obvious joke.

Actually, it's an intended double entendre. I don't think Kelly missed the joke at all, he just botched the (pardon the pun here) execution of it. Bill Belichick can never be Bill Parcells in a press conference.yeah I am not offended at his take on the joke. I think he completely doesn't get the joke, what the joke was referencing, etc. Or hell... I never did.
My problem with him was that it's yet another time he was completely out of his element giving an interview on the field. His brain melts down. And, while I may be reading too much into it, I think it's because of his arrogance.
As a Bucs fan from an early age I can assure you it was a tongue-in-cheek play on words. A double entendre. McKay was absolutely joking about 'murdering' the team for their poor performance.I am pretty sure McKay's quote was about execution of plays and not actually murdering the team, but I could be wrong.
I can't hate the man, he helped bring TB their first SB win. He built a wicked team in the late 90's, early 2K's.Have I mentioned how much I hate John McKay's son?
You do realize why he hates him as a Falcons fan right?I can't hate the man, he helped bring TB their first SB win. He built a wicked team in the late 90's, early 2K's.
Of course, but as a fan of another NFC-S team - where Rich helped orchestrate a SB victory - I can't help but bring it up...You do realize why he hates him as a Falcons fan right?
Well he also just got rid of Julio so…. yeah I think Dzy might hate him for that a little more.Of course, but as a fan of another NFC-S team - where Rich helped orchestrate a SB victory - I can't help but bring it up...![]()
