I have a question:

Crowton has been successful with more experienced quarterbacks; not so good at developing them from the get go.

Would Jefferson be better off with Crowton again next year, now that he'll have had 2 bowl seasons of practice as the starting QB, plus 14 starts under his belt?

Or would Jefferson be better off with a new offensive coaching staff, system and set of schemes to learn for next season?

Firing Crowton sets the offense back... it's a stupid decision if it comes to fruition.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question with anything other than it is obvious the offense needs some direction, on and off the field.

I'm not sure its a good idea now to fire him, especially since the team is so entrenched into his system. I don't think its necessarily all coaching. Our O-line has been mediocre a lot, which makes it tough on JJ and te Running backs. All three starting RB's are out with major injuries as well. Our Defense which is pretty damn good can do just so much when they have to spend 2/3's of the game on the field, so they are exhausted by the 4th quarter. I say give him another year. If our results are the same, then major changes need to take place.

NO, because he had very experienced running backs and should have been explosive this season with running the ball, which would have opened up the passing game more. Yet Crowton has failed all season at doing this! If he can’t get it right with the talent that the tigers had his year, what makes people think ANYTHING will change next year???
Where was the “wild tiger” this year that was talked about so much in the offseason?
Zero misdirection, very little play action, and when LSU runs the option play, every person in the stadium and watching on tv knows it is coming... The dude is not very innovative and lacks ingenuity!
I think he needs to go!!!

It seems that nothing has changed in terms of JJ and his development at QB. Can you provide some evidence of JJ getting better at his "craft" compared to last year?

I'll hang up and listen.

Crowton has sucked with any QBs he's had to develop, experienced or not. This is a fact. It's not just their youth and inexperience. It's the fact that Crowton can't coach QBs at all, so another year under Crowton won't do shite.

He needs to go, period.

Jefferson would be better off changing positions because he can't read defenses and pick out alternate receivers.
