Very interesting quote about Crowton

Sorry if this is a repost. Just saw this in a NYTimes article about Chip Kelly and the Oregon Ducks. Though the writer doesn't give a name, we all know who he's talking about:
Bellotti had installed the spread offense with a previous offensive coordinator. “When we started this offense, we could figure out after the game what we should have done,” Bellotti said. “We progressed to the point where we could figure it out during the game. When I interviewed Chip, I realized he was the guy who would know, going in to the game, what we should do. He took it to the level where we were not the ones having to make adjustments; we were dictating to other teams.”
If that quote is accurate, it's damning. Crowton had to learn how to adjust in the middle of a game, because he's unable to do it on his own. No wonder we look so clueless out there.

How many offenses in the country look like Oregon's? If other coaches could do what Oregon does, they would. Not so much a slam against Crowton as it is an endorsement of Chip.

Perhaps I'm reading too much between the lines. But I'm also looking at four years of decreased offensive output since he's been here. It's not just that Kelly is good, though he is. It's also that Crowton is terrible.

Crowton's offense in 2007 broke several LSU records. Let's not exaggerate. Crowton's been horrible enough in 3 seasons. No need to tack on a 4th.

the word adjust is not in Crowton's vocabulary. that is definately one major reason he has to go.
