Les keeping Crowton for insurance?

The only reason Crowton hasn't been fired yet is because he hasn't committed any NCAA violations.

That's the only way coaches get fired at LSU.

By allowing Crowto to stay through the bowl, he can save face by taking another job rather than being pushed.

this has been my guess all along...
giving him time 'till after the Bowl Game to accept a job...

but hell who knows, we may have him another year.

Les keeping Crowton for insurance?

If Les is keeping Crowton for insurance, it would be for next season (if he fires crowton this year, there will be no one left to fire after 2010).

However, even that's too consipiracy theory for me. Not sure adults actually do that kind of thing. Les wants to win more than anyone.

Crowton is staying put at LSU because he is one of the best offensive coordinators in collage football.

What part of “our o-line sucked arse this year don’t you stupid people understand”

well our shitty oline coach is still here. les is acting like gerry d right now by hanging on to stud and crowton.

No one is disputing Crowton's Genius. There are just 106 or so smarter geniuses doing what he is doing.

This does have the same vibe as the Co-DC situation though. It would be hard to install a gameplan with a new OC for a bowl game. Crowton may be here for that reason alone.

Well lets just say Miles, for his own sake, better not do anything stupid to lose the game.

I would like to see Crowton go also, but I can see Les' reasoning for keeping him.

Crowton managed to field a decent O last year despite a liability at QB.

This year, QB was still a weakness and the Oline was lousy.

To me, it still looks like LSU doesnt know what it wants to do on O, and you cant tell me some of that isnt on Les. After all, we had all the pieces in place to run a good wildcat scheme, but Les said he wouldnt commit to it in case Shep got hurt. Typical Les logic.

My concern is that you are now adding another chef to the kitchen with Gonzales.

But to the point of the thread, I dont think Les would keep an assistant to buy time. He may not be what we hope for from an HC, but he is an honorable guy.

I think Les keeps Crowton thru the bowl game and then gets rid of him. I dont think as insurance, but more as loyalty to Crowton. This is my gut feel, and Im sticking with it.
