re: I’m tired of Brian Kelly’s excuses.

The one thing that no fanbase of a rebuilding franchise can tolerate is the sense that it's stopped making progress. I think all of us can agree that last year Kelly exceeded expectations. Nobody seriously expected a title this year, but nobody expected backsliding either. Next year, with Nussbaum leading the offense and Mount or whoever is rushed in to deal with another poor defensive recruitment class, I can't see any possible improvement from this year--in fact, we'll be lucky to avoid finishing 6-7 like O in his final year. My prediction? At the end of next season, Woodward will be forced to put together the biggest donor buyout in college football history to get rid of Kelly.
