re: Crowton is the issue

this thread is a perfect example of the level of absurdity the rant has now sunk to. it is entirely too early in the season and in crowton's tenure at lsu to proclaim that he is a "problem". the guy has put up very respectable numbers throughout his career as a coordinator, including at lsu.

You forgot how he flushed BYU's program down the tubes, can't develop players, or make adjustments. Theres more to being an OC than fancy play scribblings written out in Crayon.
This isn't the first time a fan base has called for Crowtons job. I wish I wasn't the first one to ever want a "Fire Gary Crowton" shirt... but it's been done.. in blue and white... history doesn't lie.

Did you read the article midway through the post? He has a definite track record of starting strong and failing slowly...
The trend is continuing here.

The guy makes perfectly valid points in a reasonable way, backs it up with statistical proof, and you call it absurdity. You can disagree with his opinion (though, in fairness, to do so you have to ignore the offensive product on the field), but to act like it isn't a legitimate take on an OBVIOUS problem is in itself absurd. People are actually trying to figure out why a team loaded with playmakers is such a disaster offensively. To not at least wonder if its the offensive coordinator is idiotic. If you aren't interested in legitimate give and take, go away.

It's not too early in the season. We actually can go back to last season. Yes, JL threw interceptions, no doubt, but I would say that he as a freshman was not put in a positin to have the best chance at success for a freshman either. For years, the difference in Texas and OU was not the players. It was the development of the players once they got there and OU was doing a better job. You saw the difference on the field. But Texas goes out and gets Muschamp and makes changes on the D coaching staff and players get better now. It's not just about recruiting. It's also about player development as you I know most know. I actually thought that Jefferson would be further along now and it appears to me that the offense is so complicated that it does not allow Jefferson to get really good at any one thing. Too many plays and too many reads at this point. Also, can we quit running the option to our 230lb tailback to the short side of the field 8 times a game?

Gary Crowton's entire reputation as an "offensive genius" is built almost entirely upon the success of the Tim Rattay-Troy Edwards pitch-and-catch combo he had at Louisiana Tech in the late 90s.
Other than that...not so much.
