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.”

1. My motto has always been: fuck'em if they can't take a joke

2. I saw it live and knew exactly the origin. Of course it's Kelly so he was bound to screw it up

aaaand he did.

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

3. Botched the joke just like they botched 4th quarter defense...

Typical Kelly move...could not pull off the USC coach John McKay quip from his days with the creamsicle-expansion era Bucs...
