re: does the Gonzales hire....

If Crowton is calling the bowl game, nothing good can come from disclosing next year's OC.

Crowton is looking for a safe landing somehwere, and that's Miles style anyway.

There is no way Miles is feeling out OC's without the decision having already been made.

yeah, this is what i've been saying.

I just think there has to be some incentive for gonzales to jump ship

Sorry,I meant BelowPar.

crowton needs to hop on his bike and ride the frick out of town

I think that's very plausible. I think this may very well be a replay of the Defensive situation last year.

There's also the slight possibility that Crowton doesn't know I suppose.

Yeah, I think it's much more likely that he knows and keeps mum than doesn't know.

Also people who say "why would we hire offensive guys before the OC?" The answer is that we already had openings on the offensive side. Last year we had no defensive openings until all those guys left for other jobs...

with hires like this it makes it hard not to applaud ole les.

Mr. Offseason

henson left for a promotion

if henson is the o line hire its purely to be his sideline explainer again. he was (more) lost without Henson there to whisper sweet nothings about how the clock stops after an interception etc this year

You have to realize, it is in everyone's best interest for it to look like Crowton merely took another job and did not get fired.

It's in Miles' and LSU's interest mainly due to recruiting..

It's in Crowton's interest for obvious future career advancement and employment, not to mention simply ego.

If Miles and Crowton know they are splitting ways, it's probably staying between Miles and Crowton, because it's in both of their best interests to keep it that way.

All that said, who knows what will happen, but it is certainly not surprising that all the "insiders" including possibly Crowton himself would claim for now that Crowton has not been fired and will be here next year.

It's also plausible that we know who the new OC will be and they have green-lighted the position coaches.

Let's face it, you don't get information out of Miles. He gives it to you when he gets it to you.

That's what makes following this team so damn entertaining............and stressful.

Again, I'm with Belowpar, that's just what Crowton said, and like I said, I was more disturbed by the playcalling information.
