Gary Danielson criticized for Alabama, Auburn Iron Bowl commentary

Gary Danielson received criticism during the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn, and it was primarily focused on his commentary of the officiating, and whether they went against Alabama or not.

Danielson early in the second quarter thought there should be a penalty called against Auburn for pass interference against Jameson Williams. Then when Williams was flagged for targeting, and ejected after review, Danielson called for targeting from the moment the incident happened.

Georgia fans even noted when Brad Nessler brought up Georgia’s potential dominance over Alabama next week in the SEC Championship, and Danielson saying it’s too early to discuss that yet.

Here’s a sampling of the criticism:

Of course Gary and Brad are simping for Bama, begging for a flag when the contact was for like a second.

You will seriously never hear them do the same for Auburn.

This isn’t a complaint about this one game, it’s EVERY Alabama game for the past decade, some worse than others.

Gary Danielson can’t stop talking about the story of the game is Auburn can’t run the football……..they have more rushing yards than Bama right now.

Why would anyone tell Gary what the gameplan is to try and slow down Alabama?

Not saying Bama’s gonna lose this, but what would happen to Gary Danielson if they did?
