I just finished watching the ND - FSU game.  Great game in a great atmosphere that epitomizes all that is great about college football.  

But I have to say, WTF about Brian Kelly throwing his team under the bus within seconds of them pulling off an incredible win.  When asked "What did you think about your teams' ability to withstand Florida State's impressive comeback?" he replied "Yeah, uh you know I'm in favor of execution.  Maybe our entire team should be executed after tonight.  I mean, we just didn't execute very well . . . we've got some work to do . . . I like our team, I like our players, I like their commitment and they way they fought, but we've got a lot of work to do . . . we've got to get a lot better."

If you are going to quote someone else, you should at least acknowledge them.  It was John McKay who initially made the bad joke about executing his team after a poor showing.

Think about the high school football players that were watching that game and heard Kelly's comments.  Who would want to go play football for that guy?  His team had just won a big season opening game against a scrappy opponent in a hostile stadium full of war cry screaming tomahawk chopping fans and his first thought is how to punish his players because it was too close a game.  Even if he was attempting a joke, it was inexcusable.  He is a world class a**hole.
