In short, not great.
When he came to UofL, he insisted on running plays in with the WR instead of signals. Several games we had to burn timeouts within the first few mins of the 3rd quarter because of slow play calling. At Utah, he failed to take a time out when they had a wideout on a fieldgoal attempt that, of course, was a fake and resulted in an evenutal TD.

nah, not really. Every D1 coach can be questioned every game for in game clock management.

How about the end of the cap one bowl against Penn St.?
The mistake was that we threw a middle screen with no timeouts left and needing a lot of yards. It wasn't a coach's fault that a Penn State defender sat on Lafell for like a minute and Josh D draws a personal foul trying to drag the defender off.

A good OC has to use the same people. You can change formations, use motion, create mismatches, etc. But substitutions are not to be used when the clocks winding down. You have to be able to call a number of plays with the same people. A good OC can think ahead. Lots of "what if's."

It's not just clock mismanagement at the end of half or at the end of game. It's getting the plays in on a timely basis so the QB has time to read the defense and go through his progressions.
The latter is the reason LSU QB's the last few years look so much better in the first game of the season, after a bye, or in the bowl games.
Simply put, a week wasn't enough for the QB to learn the gameplan under Crowton. Hopefully Krags is much better in this respect.
