If so, why did Miles give Crowton a raise THIS PAST WEEK????

That would be beautiful. CROWTON HAS TO GO

I don't think firing Crowton would be wise at all.

We are only 7 games in with a new QB.

I hate to say it, but I'd rather see him coaching somewhere else.I'm beginning to srtongly believe we have a coaching issue on offense.

Sorry, we are "seven games in with NO QB".
And neither RS nor JL have been getting enough reps to expect a smooth transition to someone else.

God, you people make me feel smarter and smarter every time I read this board. Do you honestly think MILES gave Crowton the pay hike?

Jesus. You do know that Miles doesn't control the budget, right? Please tell me that you don't believe that Miles is an "employer" and Crowton is an "employee".

The raises were across the board and are decided by the board and authorized by the AD.

The bottom line is that the scouting for the best and most available OC in the country needs to start now. Not after the season. NOW.

Someone in the AD hopefully is doing that, and they need to leak a rumor that they are, if for no other reason than to light a fire in Crowton's arse. Change is needed. Desperately.

Either Crowton changes what he's doing, or we change OC's. Period.

All I know is that we got rid of Malveto after last season, & this year our D has improved leaps & bounds, and continues to get better; now for the offense, let's keep it real- it is pretty pathetic, has not improved, which is just not right, especially with the great talent we have playing there like Tolliver, Lafell, Scott, KW, Dickson, etc.

By the time UF was 7 games into a new QB with TT, by the time Alabama was 7 games into a new QB, etc. etc. etc. Why does LSU have such problems? Coaching.
