People say he screwed Nuss. But how? It was Nuss ‘s last season, he had no confidence in Van Buren. Yes, Nuss was hurt, but you know Nuss wanted to play his senior year. What should Kelly have done?

By giving him a shitty offense and weapons.

Just to be clear, this is only one of the factors. Nuss had many problems.

Probably the fact that Nuss wasn't diagnosed properly.

Well Nuss getting hurt was no one’s fault. The team around him sucked, so I guess you could blame that on Kelly.

How about didnt make the correct decision and sit him until they got the injury figured out? Sounds like the same thing with Greg brooks

Kelly screwed over everyone by creating a shitty team.

He was an awful coach and person.....and has no clue how to manage quaterbacks....the entire team for that matter.

Kelly was bad for every player on that team!

He hired Joe Sloan and had a shite offensive line. Nuss had many faults of his own but BK did him no favors

Maybe Nuss wasn't as good as we thought

Kelly isn’t in charge of medical diagnoses

This also assumes Nuss is telling the truth, when he’s quite incentivized to not

He didn’t.

If Nuss was good enough, he would have been drafted higher. I’m starting to think Nuss came back because his draft grades were what actually happened in this year’s draft.

BK sucked last year and deserved to be fired, but JD5 had the biggest improvement I've ever seen a QB have and won the Heisman, became the #1 NFL pick, etc. Most of that was due to work Daniels put in, but I do remember Kelly challenging Daniels to take more chances instead of being so careful with his passes. Daniels did that as 2023 went on and was much better for it. He challenged Nuss to use his feet and run more last year. Nuss refused. You can't blame Kelly for everything.

We now know that BK didnt have much to do with recruiting or the portal

We was too busy playing golf or getting drunk

He was hurt and everybody knew he was hurt and could tell he was hurt. Instead of resting him after the Clemson game for a couple of three weeks he kept playing him. Does that answer your stupid question?

He gave him no protection, no balance on offensive play-calling and execution and poor game planning. Sucks he got hurt, but there was only so much that even a healthy Nuss could do with a shitty o line.

He didn’t…he allowed Nuss to make millions of dollars for virtually zero productivity.
