TP has a really nice TV. I watch through the windows right out side of his place every Saturday.
And that's after football season

I highly doubt the gameplan depends significantly on the result of the coin flip. What kind of coach would let their game plan be affected that much by 50/50 chance?
If you read the context, I'm actually agreeing with Kelly, so I don't get what your issue is.
Again... Brian Kelly would disagree with you. It's a schematic advantage, not a statistical advantage, as NDTH91 pointed out above. If you get the ball first, you get the advantage of having the only drive of the game that you can script without any history of matchups in the game. That allows you a lot of options schematically, since if the other team gets the ball first, you have to adapt to the results of their first drive results.
I'm not pulling this out of my ass, btw. Guys like BK, Belichek and several other big time coaches have opined on the matter.
Anyone know a good place to watch this game in the Columbus, Ohio area?

50. ECU hung 70 on them
But Belichek and Kelly disagree. So are you saying one's right and the other's wrong?
Maybe we can get an inspired effort from our Floridian running backs. They are both due for a breakout and we could sure use something from them to take some pressure off Everett.
True, but Belichick started the trend of deferring because he believes in the advantage you can get if you can double-up possessions on either side of halftime, which you do have some ability to manipulate.
No. They have different gameplans and style of offense. Not every strategy is the same and they aren't disagreeing because they have different strategies regarding whether they prefer the ball first or not. They agree that getting/deferring the ball gives them a distinct direction in their gameplan. You said that the decision after the coin toss bares no importance to a coaches gameplan, not that one choice is better than the other.
Totally agree. I'm referring to their being a significance to his gameplan regarding deferring/accepting. BK and Belichek prefer opposite positions for the reasoning you and I pointed out. My main point is that it is not an insignificant moment of the game that bares no impact on coaching gameplans.
My whole take on the "Oh FSU is going to rally around JW." First off that is ridiculous, it's not like some tragedy fell out of the clear blue sky and beset him, his problems are all self inflicted.
Someone should ask Mark May what would need to happen to pick ND, and ask Lou what it would take for him to pick against ND. There is literally no thinking involved in these "predictions" and they are a waste of time.
The shtick is getting old, amirite? I think it's about time they start actually analyzing our games like professionals. I love Lou to death, but he is just as much to blame.
