Are you serious?? You cannot be. He is one of the most respected offensive coordinators in the nation. Yes, I have even questioned some of your play calling this year, but look what we were working with as our QB for most of the year.

HE NEEDS TO STAY.

I don't think any one is serious about that. Even with the QB problems, LSU scored enough points this year to win most games.

Needs a quarterback coach, his scheme is too complicated without a dedicated resource assigned to the young RS SO, SO, & 2 FR QB's. You need someone to work with the guys when they aren't getting reps.

He for sure needs to stay. He cannot go out and play QB for Lee. He didnt throw 7 pick sixes, and we still averaged in the 30's in points per game. We need to clean house, Les and Crowton need to clean house.

Crowton needs to stay, Crowton needs to give Les recommendation for a QB coach, and the entire defensive staff needs to go...It's that simple..

Major Applewhite is from Baton Rouge, he's probably pissed that he was passed over for HC by Muschamp...Bring him in to coach QB's...$$$ is not the issue...

we have to remember lee was a jimbo fisher recruit...crowton qb's are all dual threat...his hands have been tied...he came into lsu with an average of over 400 yds. per game...the guy just needs to run his offense with no interference..

I don't think many are calling for that. (And if they are, they are mistaken.) There does seem to be some question about CG's authority to call plays....as there was some question with JF before him.

There is just no space on the coaching staff. It's impractical.

To be honest, I think we're one short on defense which is a part of our problem.

What does this mean? No space? I didn't know there was a "quota" on coaching staff. I guarantee the "higher ups" are not concerned about dollars....

There is a limit on assistant coaches. I'm not sure the exact number, but there is a reason LSU does not have a QB coach.

Educate me, is this an NCAA rule?

Crowton gets an A grade. Other than OM our offense put up enough points to win almost every game.

Our receivers missed some passes this year which doesn’t help GC’s job, but I was not impressed with GC’s play callin during big ballgames. Play to win Coach!!! If something is workin, run that play again til the other frickin stops it!!!
I am not impressed with his ability to see what he has in his own players, what the opposing D is giving us, and make the adjustments during the game to win the game. Yesterday was a classic example of this…
IMO...
