Gary Crowton as "sacrificial lamb"- yikes!

And while it’s probably too pricey to get rid of Miles thanks to his contract buyout, someone on his staff needs to be given their walking papers. Gary Crowton needs to be that sacrificial lamb. All he’s done in the past two seasons at LSU is set offensive football back a few years and make it, for lack of a better word, offensive. In 2007, when the good times were rolling, he was called “The Wizard.” Nowadays, he’s more like “The Dunce.” His play-calling style can only be described as erratic, unpredictable and illogical. The Tigers only attempted 18 rushes with their running backs during the game, although Jefferson was obviously gun-shy and timid in his first game back from what appeared to be a pretty serious injury. Ridley didn’t even see a rushing attempt until late in the fourth quarter. There is no excuse to not give the ball to your stud running backs more often. It’s just poor coaching to do otherwise. LSU was only mostly in the game Saturday because of a blocked field goal and a scoring drive that started near midfield. Saturday was a prime example of why LSU is currently sitting at No. 110 in total offense nationally and is near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference in many offensive statistical categories of note. Crowton, thanks for the memories, but your time in Baton Rouge appears to be up. LSU can do better than this.
