Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly's 'Execution' Joke Doesn't Go Over Well

"Nobody likes to be funny anymore," Kelly griped after the Fighting Irish defeated Florida State.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly’s “execution” joke didn’t kill it on Sunday.

The Fighting Irish football team squandered an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter against Florida State but still won, 41-38, in overtime. After the game, Kelly was asked about his squad’s “ability to withstand” the Seminoles’ comeback.

“I’m in favor of execution. Maybe our entire team needs to be executed after tonight,” Kelly quipped to ESPN’s Katie George on the ABC broadcast. “We just didn’t execute very well.”

Great game. Tuned in midway in the 3rd. That Milton kids story is pretty amazing.
