Nutt's biggest folly on STs was not having scholarship kickers, he was able to get good kickers (Dan Bailey for example) but he and Saban refuse to give a scholarship to a guy who can win or lose you a game for some reason.
I never understood this mentality. I get a bumbling idiot like Nutt not realizing the importance of a scholarship kicker, but I'll never understand why a guy like Saban wouldn't have one.
Saban inherited his only good kicker (Tiffin) from Shula, had his own kicker cost him one National Title (last year) and nearly cost him another (2011).

You can't really put that on the kicker. Saban knew it was a long shot but wanted the chance and failed to put any coverage guys on the FG attempt. That loss is purely on Saban.
eta: Unless he missed other FG's in that game that Im pretty sure he did and those are what you are talking about.
