Third time I am posting this now, but all of the Crowton posts present the same conundrum:

"Posts like this always beg the question: what, exactly, does Les Miles do all season?

In 2008, the defense was atrocious (as a result of hires Miles made). Apparently, he was incapable of stepping in and resolving the issue himself during the season. After the season, he fired his cronies and retained Chavis. The defense has improved under Chavis.

In 2010, the offense has been inept thus far. This is being blamed on Crowton. Apparently, Miles himself cannot step in and remedy the matter immediately. So now he is supposed to resolve the offensive woes by hiring a new coordinator, who will return us to glory.

But this sequence of events indicates that Miles is incapable of autonomously coaching either the offense or the defense. Apparently, he can't actually coach either side of the ball. He's just a figurehead who recruits and hires other men who can actually coach."

I have absolutely no issue with a "figure head" as head coach. Actually, I would prefer it ... Organization runs smoother in the long run IMO (see Penn State/Paterno, Texas/Brown, Florida State/Bowden, Ohio State/Tressel).

Nonetheless, I wish we could get from point A to point C a lot faster.

I'm ready for Crowton to go...TODAY!

Pretty much. But that isn't a bad thing. Plenty of head coaches have been figure heads, all they did is let the assistants do their thing. Miles just needs a better O coordinator on that side of the ball.
