gary crowton fans why should he stay?

crowton never throws the deep ball unless it's a must. he avoids play actions/tricky motions. his weak side options and silly wr screen passes don't cut it in the SEC. Pretty much everytime LSU lines up in formation, i know exactly what play they're going to run

I'm not a Crowton fan, although perhaps not as negative about him as some, but the one reason I would give for keeping him has already been shot down by Crowton himself.

It always seems to take a team at least a year to acclimate to a new OC and I would hate to waste next year when the schedule sets up pretty nicely for us. BUT! In 2007 GC was our brand new OC and we struggled a lot with lining up and learning the formations, but we still managed a pretty good offensive performance and won the NC, so from that standpoint I guess I really can't give a concrete reason to keep him given the last two years performance.

BT = crowton cheerleader

That's because BT hates JJ and it couldn't be Crowtons fault for such shitty playcalling.

he seems to be like every other ignorant fan. mauk, flynn would of had terrible numbers in crowtons system as well. i can see his offense scheme working, but not in a conference where the LBs run 4.6s and the defensive ends are faster than your QB. put JJ even in Fisher's scheme and people would compare him to campbell from au

Now posts like this is where I sometimes catch myself in a position of defending Crowton. You're wrong on so many levels.

I understand that not everyone is going to be a junky like me and break down every game film 5 or 6 times, but you shouldn't make such an inaccurate post. I mean flame Crowton if you want, but don't try to make a critical strategic analysis if you don't have the chops. Just stick to the basic, "well we really sucked on offense the last two seasons", you'll get no argument from me on that.

All your assertions are flawed, Crowtons got his weaknesses, but the ones you mentioned aren't them.

Crowton = terrible
JJ = confused and medicore
JL = Badly coached with bad habits

sadly doc jj is below average. he has worse stats than reggie ball
