Stupid two point conversions (SimpLLLLLe Jim loves 'em, and so does James Franklin)

Notre Dame scores to go up 40-29 over Northwestern early in the 4th quarter. Kick the XP to make it 41-29 and NU needs two touchdowns.

Nope! Brian Kelly goes for two and fails, keeping the field goal in play. Sure enough, NU ties it at 40 with a FG in the final seconds to force overtime.

Good decision, genius.

EDIT: Notre Dame loses in overtime.

Can't wait to hear his answer to this one...

"We had the right play called until the damn kids screwed it up"

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Actually he just said that the card said go for 1 but he didn't like the mental approach of his kicker. That isn't a quote exactly...but those are the words he used.

Kelly says his chart said to go for one, said kicking game situation prompted the two point conversion.


So, in the end he did find a way to blame someone else. You fucking schmuck.

Couldn't blow up in the face of a nicer cocksucker.

"Well, I was going to coach correctly. And I clearly know what I am doing as a coach. But because the kids mess things up, I had to change my flawless coaching plan. Which is perfect, I remind you."

Kicking situation? That's silly

He doesn't think his kicker ca make an extra point? Had he miss any earlier in the game?

He was 4/5 to that point. His 2nd attempt was blocked in the first quarter after a bad snap.

Has Kelly ever taken the blame for anything, ever?

Why should he? We all know it's all Ty Willingham's fault.

Division I-AA playoff, Coastal Carolina scores a TD to close within 31-26 of North Dakota State with 3:39 left in the third quarter.

They go for two and fail, but the announcer thinks it was a great decision because 1 point "does you no good down 5". There have been 57 points scored in the first 41 minutes and you're concerned you need to make it a FG deficit with over 18 minutes to play? Stupid. Kick the XP and keep playing.
