O did unforgivable things to our roster

While not solely to blame (COVID transfer rules, the new era of semi-professional college football, etc.), your point is certainly valid.

Brian Kelly has been the coach for almost 2 years. Even missing spots on the roster are increasingly his responsibility.

Defensively, this team is barely on FCS level or maybe equivalent to a poor non-P5 defense. It is a shame, because merely average defense would have the team competitive for post-season, or at least another Top 10/12 run (at minimum, which is what this offense should guarantee).

Frustratingly, there are very occasional flashes from the defense (3Q against Ole Miss), but it just isn't enough to keep this team from sliding to very disappointing 7-5 with 8-4 being best case for the regular season.

I felt bad about the team last year after the opener, but there was still fight in that team. There is no fight in this defense ... at all. That was obvious in the FSU game.
