Crowton wasn't the problem

Gary Crowton always called a decent game, in my opinion---but he was limited by the quarterback's inability to execute the offense.
The real problems that need to be addressed are the quarterback and the offensive line. The team needs a good developer of quarterbacks, and better technique is needed in the offensive line (on a consistent basis).
Crowton could make offensive adjustments, but they didn't show because of the lack of execution.
We might also want to look at the wide receivers coach---I noticed a difficulty of our receivers getting open at times.

He wasn't the answer either.

It was his job to coach the QBs. He didn't. He was the problem

Then why the frick did he admit to trying to run 4 WRs on the field with 9 seconds left against UT? That was all on Crowton. That's when Miles got pissed and called the Ridley pitch without the headphones on.

Please stop.

BS. I usually had the feeling that he was flipping coins and shaking the magic 8 ball to help decide which plays to call. You had stuff that would be clearly working in the first quarter, but he wouldn't call it again for at least two games.
You had formations, etc that alot of people's wives could predict what play was going to be one.
Don't get me started on the option to the short side of the field.
And yes, I admit the qb situation was a problem, but it was not the biggest problem.

Loved the formation of Holliday lining up out wide in 5WR sets. Especially when our QB has trouble hitting 6'5 WRs. But let's put a 5'5 WR on the field split him out wide 15 yards away from the QB and then send him out on a route. Genius

while some of gcs plays were very innovative, he called a terrible game in my opinion. if im sitting in the stands and know what play is coming next, dont you think the dc on the other team knows whats coming? example, whats coming if rs goes in motion from the slot?

Crowton was the OC and QB coach, so the lack of QB play was his fault. He also recruited the guys so that was his fault as well.
As far as the WR's, I went to 3 games and guys were open consistently. I did notice in a few of the games that the WR's wouldn't run routes as hard at the end of the game if they weren't the primary WR. Maybe that is because Jeff either threw it to the #1 guy or ran.
Against Miss St, Randle could have had
many TD's. They didn't have a safety deeper than 10 yards and Randle was wide open every play deep, but Jefferson would come off his primary to throw it deep.

So the FIRST last play of the TN game (mass substitution) was a decent call in your your opinion? His inability to get calls on the field before time expired is a decent call in your opinion? Three back-to-back pass plays with Jarrent Lee is a decent call in your opinion? Passing at the Ole Miss game with time expiring and need a field goal was a decent call in your opinion?

did you ever think the reason they were not able to perform was his fault? Like he didn't train them properly?
Was it JJ's fault GC kept making him drop back to pass when he is better at rollouts and play action passes? Was it the qb's fault that GC decides not to attack NC's or Auburn's weak secondaries? Was it the qb's fault he insisted on running the option or the same ten plays out of thirty or whatever it was formations? was it Lee's fault he was never allowed to play long enough to develop real chemistry with his receivers or improve his game mechanics?

What was his excuse at the other schools he was at prior to LSU? Pretty much a parallel. Success early on with decreased production each succeeding year.

agreed - Miles limited the playbook

Crowton is a garbage coordinator and his coaching history proves it.
He should have been fired last year.

Our offense is so complicated, that after 3 years, JJ nor JL do not know what they're doing!!!! That is coaching!!!!!!
We took the #1 QB recruit in the nation, and moved him to WR, because the offense is too complicated.
Maybe Crowton is better suited for the Ivy League, but it's too complicated here!!!!!
