Week 1 Games Discussion

Brian Kelly pulls out the John McKay line…but everyone thinks he’s serious

Umm, woah!

UBU Brian Kelly.

 

[Jake]

Seminoles should've been more aggressive on that last possession in regulation

This game would be going to a 2nd OT had their coach just shut his trap.

 

[Systems_id]

Did Kelly just say what I thought he said?

“I’m in favor of execution”

 

[dragurd]

Notre Dame played to their talent level and won? Are you aware you just said the number 9 teams talent level is beating an unranked team by 3?

Those words they don't mean what you think they do

 

[Dryden]

Brain Kelly is in favor of executing kids.

We already knew that, but now he’s a blatant John McKay quote stealer….

 

[Systems_id]

Guess they let Kelly off his meds

 

[Bucklion]

I know this MF did NOT just say that on national T.V.

Credit to tall blondie for deadpanning that…he looked for a reaction he didn’t get

ND is limited on offense...like they seem to always be. They're Stanford with better athletes at a number of positions and a very good RB. But they should've won this game by 14+ with how bad FSU's offense is.

Not sure if it's their DL or what, but if this FSU team is gashing you like that, it's not a good sign.

What the fuck... I've never heard a coach say that.

Should get fired for that but I guess a twitter apology will suffice.

Really shouldn’t pull that one out when you’ve, you know, actually killed a kid either

He butchered the quote anyway, but when you actually got a student killed with your antics after a disappointing performance, maybe don't joke about executions post game.

 

[Zem]

Kelly's considering executing his players. Imagine if they had lost (eek!).

Tried to be funny by stealing a John McKay quote from the 70s.
McKay was the Head Coach at Tampa Bay when they were a brand new expansion team and they were winless. During a post game presser, a reporter asked McKay what he thought about his teams execution and McKay's response was "I'm all in favor of it".
Purple Face completely botched it and it was really cringy.

At least McKay was lobbed a softball in the form of a question, “What do you think of your teams’ execution?”

Kelly went out of his way to twist it, and given his history he really should not have.

EVERY CFB writer/broadcaster I follow on Twitter is on it, and I follow a lot.

There are going to be repercussions. CFB sportswriter Twitter is knives out for Kelly’s head right now.

Purple Face is going to have a bad week...
