He started unstable had a weird injury with missed chip shots (for a seasoned guy) and finished awful. Then you look at the $5Mil annual? Poorly spent $ for that production. Here you get a guy for 4yrs at $1mil per and his cap is covered by Brandon’s $950K saved. Dead $ is never good but also it is really immaterial as it was spent $, provided the monetary exchange doesn’t add to Cap.This year we net 0 cap at kicker and we have the best K in college (granted a relatively poor class of PK) With a adequate sample Smack is about 3% better FGM% and has a young, strong leg that holds accuracy. 70% on 50+ with 10 tries shows that potential. IMO at floor you’ve got similar results at $1Mil. At ceiling he matures into a 85-90%  guy and automatic inside 40-45 yards.The other point I’d offer is if we are going to make a change anytime soon (2026-27) then the time to make a change at PK is when changing our Coordinator. IMO it just makes sense because he can mold that Rookie much easier. Achord is a Super Bowl Champion Teams Coordinator and has enough raw experience to give him someone he can teach ground up.</blockquote>
