2007 Offense and Gary Crowton

I forgot just how dominant our offense was in 2007, especially after watching the home game against VT. WOW WE WERE STACKED!
Why were there so many Gary Crowton haters? I loved that Oregon style offense!

If that is the only year you watched I could understand your position. Did ya happen to watch any other years?

40 seconds to go, no timeouts, down by 2. About 20 yards away from FG range. Call a RB screen to the middle of the field. Cannot stop clock. Time runs out.

This is the kind of shite that makes this website totally worthless for a sports fan.

Lou Tepper called a good defense for the Indy Bowl against ND. I thought "this guy is going to be great." And then I saw the results when he ran his own system.
Crowton did a great job in 2007 taking over a team that was in place with a QB whom Jimbo had tutored. But the QB's did not progress under Crowton and we had too many fire drills such as the sequence at the end of the Tennessee game in 2010. I was very ready for him to leave LSU, but was chagrined that he came to Maryland. To my surprise, despite a good returning QB in Danny O'Brien, Crowton had no success in College Park.

Ryan Perriloux fricked over Gary Crowten when he go himself kicked off the team...

I remember halfway through that season a poster came on here and posted a long, detailed analysis of how Crowton offenses were amazing the first year, then regress year by year until they are absolutely putrid.
I still remember it because everything he said was absolutely true.

I don't think Crowton handled the QB fiasco situation well. He forced Lee to make throws down the field he wasn't ready for and was responsible for the pick-6 disaster that year.
After that, Miles probably lose confidence in Crowton as an offensive coordinator.

2006 O was no slouch and '07 a continuation of what was already in place.
The offense went south once The Wiz actually started trying to mold it.
The O got progressively worse, and toward the end of 2010 he was handcuffed.
It was then you saw what was the beginning of the 2011 beast that made Ds quit.

Crowton & Miles were like oil and water, they just did not get along at all.. Miles wanted ball control and play good D, Gary wanted to light up the scoreboard. Problem was LSU was going thru the Co DC train wreck and LSU defense was just not up to the job. Crowton last game vs tamu cotton bowl when (forgive me) JJ threw bomb after bomb Crowton ran the offense his way that night. All The Mad Hatter talk was because of Crowton those were his plays and his calls in those games. Ask yourself since Crowton left when was the last time you seen LSU pull off a great trick play?

The offense was too complex for our players. We had illegal formation penalties out the arse in 2007.

It only works IF you have a QB that can run it...........

A good coordinator recruits athletes to fit his scheme. Like Chavis. So what was Crowton's excuse?

Wasnt his offense. O gets worse every year under him at every freaking stop. The crazy sub packages were too much for the o to handle, resulted in delay of game penalties and substitution infractions out the arse.
The dude took the reigning Acc frosh of the year and turned him into a bench warmer. But its ok, he got to ran LSU's Offense at LSU and run his at MD. Where he got fired from.
