re: Is Crowton scared from what happened in 08?

I had a post about this last week.

Last year was an abrupt wake up call. This offense did anything it wanted to in 2007 and, even with the struggles in the passing game, could run at will until Scott and the line started to break down at the end of the season last year. Now this season, even that power running safety blanket is gone. Combine that with the fact that we now had a starting QB who is a polar opposite of Lee and Russel Shepard, who the coaches don't quite know how to use yet, and we have a lot of change going on. I think that seeing how quickly it can all head south in SEC because the margin between dominance and defeat are not as wide as we all may think have scared the hell out of them. This situation has been greater underlined by the fact that we have played against two new, young, energetic coaches who are throwing out the kitchen sink because they have absolutely nothing to lose. Our coaching staff needs to get back to that freewheeling mentality, but they have a lot more pressure on them than guys like Sarkesian, Mullen, Chisek, or Kiffin. It will be interesting to see if they can overcome this fear with the stakes being so high from here on out.
