The local ABC tv sports announcer in Shreveport Tim Fletcher was told by a very reliable source yesterday L.S.U. is going to fire Gary Crowton tomorrow.

He said he made 3 hours of phone calls yesterday, L.S.U. officials did not deny the RUMOR. He also found out TAF officials went to Joe Alleva telling him there must be a change.

Did i do a German. Hey anyone in Shreveport, you know you heard what i heard, is this post totally accurate.

I do not recall if Tim gave a date when the TAF officials went to the Athletic Director.

This is all i remember

This is all a rumor as of now but there sure seems to be a lot of smoke on this one now.

Stunning news. At least for me.


Perhaps it would be wise to put the word RUMOR in the Subject line, however.

Is it all that surprising. Our defense last year was what around the 50's nationally and Miles made a change?

Our offense this year was only better than 8 teams out of 120.

FWIW I spoke to someone the other day who I think to be in the know and asked him directly about this and he was pretty tight lipped, and the only thing he really offered was that he felt at the end of the day Billy Gonzales would be named OC.

Again, not gospel, just something I heard......

If true, does this mean Billy Gonzales gets a promotion or we bring in someone else (Leach?)

I hope this is true! It will inject some life into this program and the fan base. For the first time since I can remember I am not at all excited about next season-actually dreading it.

That's been the rumor on a couple of other boards as well. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

I hope you realize that I will hate you forever if this does not actually occur.

That is how I have felt, but if Crowton is gone, I am extremely excited about next fall and think we'll make it to Phoenix for the NC.

Tim would not give his source but did say this source never gave him wrong information in the past.

And he said he was going to spend most of today to verify the information and/or add on or deny it.
