The kick-6 and bad season to follow simply branded him for life in the minds of many Bama fans. I'd obviously LOVE to have had Daniel Carlson instead, but over the last couple of seasons Griff was more than serviceable.

Griff wasn't terrible by any stretch. It's just that he wasn't awesome either. When's the last time we had an All-American kicker? Why can't we sign one? Why don't we just go after whoever AU recruits every year? It just doesn't make any sense that the clear #1 football program in American can't sign one elite kicker in a decade. That's just freakin' nuts. This is Saban's one great failure so far as a coach.

Fair questions. The only reason I always post in these is that so many people act like Griff was terrible. He wasn't. He just also wasn't Daniel Carlson.

Griff could kill it in games when nothing was on the line and/or Bama had a big lead...not so much in big games.
