Notre Dame didn’t have a great night on Saturday. They lost its second game of the season 20-19, prompted questions about where exactly the season is heading.

That’s what the Indianapolis Star‘s Laken Litman asked Kelly about after the game, leading to this testy exchange:

Brian Kelly wasn't happy at the end of his press conference when asked by @LakenLitman if tonight's loss was similar to those from 2016. pic.twitter.com/JzYWcv9Cmt — Angelo Di Carlo (@angdicarlowndu) September 10, 2017

Kelly: What’s the question? Reporter: I’m getting to it. Kelly: Well, get to the question. Reporter: How do you keep this from snowballing? Kelly: It’s not going to snowball. Next question. Reporter: Well, what exactly will be different, I guess. Kelly: There’s nothing different. I go to work every day, and I coach my football team. Reporter: OK. Kelly: Is that — is that good enough for you? Reporter: Yeah, I was just asking about how it was different from last year’s losing by one possession. Kelly: OK. Reporter: Tonight was also like that, so I was just wondering. Kelly: Losing by one possession? Reporter: Yeah. Kelly: No, it was one point.

Fair to say Kelly doesn’t exactly cover himself in glory here. Laken (who, full disclaimer, used to work here at For The Win) asks an interesting question that, given Kelly’s petulant reaction, rings true. He also apparently doesn’t understand that losing by one possession and one point are effectively the same thing, which is slightly worrying.
