College football coach says entire team should be ‘executed’

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly’s poor attempt at humour following his team’s narrow 41-38 overtime win over Florida State left a lot of people on the internet scratching their heads.

When speaking to ESPN’s Katie George about his team’s performance, Kelly said: "I’m in favor of execution – maybe our entire team needs to be executed after tonight."

The ‘joke’ was a reference to former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach John McKay, who was once asked what he thought about his team’s execution and quipped: "I’m in favor of it."
