Listening to the post-game stuff on the way to nola after the game. Gordy and hanigriff said that without a doubt the play-calling problems are on miles.

Miles sits down and creates a play sheet that has the plays that crowten is allowed to call. Crowten chooses when and which play will be called but from a predetermined play sheet, and he is not allowed to deviate from it. In fact, rush and hanagriff said that miles has even taken over the playcalling completely at times in the second halves of games.

gordy rush and charles hangriff do the radio show at walk-ons. they had multiple callers call in and tell them they were wrong and that crowten is the shitty one. They got very pissed and basically said, "our jobs are lsu sports. we are around this program more than anothers and have discussions with crowten, weekly. shut up bc this is not a guess, we are POSITIVE. it is reality."

If true, that is completely absurd.

I don't think this is a really big secret anymore.

A more accurate statement is that during the week Miles, Crowton, and Gonzales sit down and draw up a gameplan with multiple plays they want to run for specific down and distances...and create that playcalling chart based on the opponent.

Then during the game, Crowton calls the plays off of this collaborative play sheet. At times, Miles will make a specific call during the games. This has been known for a couple of years...nothing new.

Can we get the equipment staff to connect Miles' headset to some Mexican radio station? I don't know if he would know the difference.

sounds like they both need to go then, I was for Crowton leaving a long time ago. Hearing this just makes me realize this will not change, until we make the proper personnel changes on the coaching staff.

That doesn't sound right. I'm sure Miles and Crowton both draw up that play sheet.

These are usually people that are huge Miles defenders. They are simply in denial that Miles could be a huge problem with our offense so they deflect all the blame toward Crowton. Most of them think that criticizing Miles is off-limits because he won a NC and has a 55-15 record. Nevermind going 8-8 in the SEC the past two years and 0-6 against Bama/UF/OM. Nevermind his hardheadedness this year regarding the QB situation.

Remember that Miles wouldn't have to interefere so much with the playcalling if he had a halfway competent offensive coordinator. I don't know why people keep bringing this up to try and defend Crowton. If Crowton was any good Miles wouldn't have to get so involved in the first place.

He should have fired his stupid incompetent arse after last season.
