Devil’s advocate from someone who has been in the room for a number of press conferences over the years…. Kelly is indeed a jerk but that was not the first question to ask a coach after a win. BK probably should’ve just not answered it if he didn’t like the question, but the reporter has to know what he’s getting into there. 15 minutes after an SEC win, Question 1 is not the time to imply that their offense sucks. Save that for later in the press conference after he’s had a chance to settle in some more or save it for the Monday presser when less emotion is involved.
Coaches are intense breeds, and even if Kelly is more of a jerk than most, there are not that many SEC coaches who would’ve gone along with that first question after a win without getting frustrated at it.
