I'm actually a Crowton supporter in the sense that I think he's a bright offensive mind and some of what you imply might be true, but I ask you this: Did Crowton have any role in the offense the last 2 seasons?

The answer is certainly yes. And considering the players can't be fired, and Miles can't be fired, Crowton had to go. There was no choice.

You certainly could end up being right: we may continue to struggle on offense. But that's really beside the point as a change had to be made in some capacity on the offensive side of the ball, and Crowton was was the logical and obvious choice. The offense has nowhere to go but up after the last two seasons. Not to mention it's good for any team to inject fresh new energy and ideas on either side of the ball every now and again regardless.

And IMO FWIW, the "style" that Miles prefers has a greater chance for more long-term success in the SEC than the "style" Crowton prefers. Crowton tries to do too much and involve too many players and formations when in reality, with better talent as LSU has, you don't have to be as diverse on offense as a less-talented team.

I remember BP saying something like it wasn't up to miles to get rid of crowton.
