I can fathom the INTs and such, but the whole offensive identity changes randomly in games and nothing matches Crowton's style ANYWHERE!

Tell, exactly what "style" fits the offenses Crowton has run every year at every stop he's been at? Crowton has run a wide variety of schemes and playcalling styles over the years at various stops and with various personnel. One of his biggest assets as an OC is that he is not necessarily tied to one "style" and can and has changed the identity of his offense to suit his personnel.

This year we had QB issues from the start, then lost our starter in the 3rd game, had some impressively bad luck with our 3rd QB (Lee), and then ended up with him injured so that we finished out the season with our 4th QB. And with all of that, plus a defense that was 9th in the SEC in total defense, 11th in scoring defense, and dead last in passing defense, we still managed to score over 30 points a game. And you want to take the credit for that away from Crowton and give it to Miles because you don't recognize Crowton's "style"?

As the season progressed (and Lee, it seemed, didn't), our offense went through fluctuations and variations. Whoever was in control of our offense seemed to clearly be trying to find something that worked with a true freshman QB or a RS freshman QB who kept throwing pick 6s. With the struggles we had this season, the offensive coaching did a heck of a job producing points. And they did it in exactly the style I would expect from Crowton.
