007 - 2010: Crowton was the OC from January 2007 until January 2011. I don't know why any HS QB would come to LSU to learn under Crowton. He was a QB development killer. He did it at Oregon. He did it at LSU. He did it at Maryland. Jefferson and Lee were products of Crowton. That pretty much wipes out everyone through the 2011 class. Crowton is the genesis of the LSU QB wasteland.

If you are the head coach and you see that your OC is "a QB killer" why would you wait for 3 years to fire his arse? Everyone else can see it, why can't you and why don't you act faster? Miles conservatism and hard headedness in this sitiatoon is as much to blame as Crowton himself.

Oh, so Miles should have known in 2008 what we now know in 2014?

You have the benefit of knowing what happened at LSU during 2008, 2009, and 2010. You also have the benefit of knowing what happened in Maryland during 2011. Miles did not have that knowledge in 2008.

Miles also had the confounding variable in 2008 of not having RP as the QB. Was the probem with Crowton or was the problem in having a RSFr QB in Lee or a true Freshman QB in Jefferson?

exactly. because top level coordinators who will fit in with your program are plentiful every season. you can just make a major staff change whenever you want. it's like shopping at target.
