Did Miles take a shot at Crowton and his abilities?

Not all OC can develop QBs. Not a shot at Crowton just a fact that Krag is being hired because of the added ability to develop that position well.

He didn't mean anything by that.

I think Coach Miles is too much of a professional to start throwing shots at his former employee. He handles things in the quite discretion of his own office. Tells them to look for another job & then wishes them fairwell & good luck. Having said that, I did kinda chuckle when I saw the comments about developing qb's & a play-caller who will bring a great deal of enthusiasm and energy to the staff.

G E A U X T I G E R S!!!

As much as he was complimenting Steve, I take it as him covering the deficiencies of GC at the same time.

read Steves bio, he played QB and his son was one hell of a QB. He knows the postion better than the previous guy.

That's what we haven't had since 2006 season.

Steve brings to our staff the type of experience necessary to develop quarterbacks," Miles said. "He's an experienced play-caller who will bring a great deal of enthusiasm and energy to the staff."

I think it was Miles indirect low key response to Crowton's low key comment that he would be able to run the more opened up offense @ Maryland that he felt comfortable running.

Miles knew that Crowton was not a recruiter or a QB developer when he hired him. That being said Miles kept Crowton around the last 3 years w/o recruiting good/the right QBs, Miles not hiring the right QB coach to develop the QB's we had and Miles tampering w/the offense. Based on Miles needs he should have parted w/Crowton @ least 2 years ago. If our AD wouldn't give Miles the money to buy out Crowton , Miles could have chipped in some like he did w/his last pay raise @ Okie St. going to his assistants.

I don't think their relationship became contentious like Miles & Fisher became but they didn't fit. They each had to get off a little low key , gentle jab @ one another instead of a big public fight while parting ways as befitting their personalities.

..c'mpn , you reading WAY too much into that ....why can't folks just take the man at his word and what he says is what he says ..
if we know one thing about CLM is he doesn't take shots - obvious or otherwise - at his colleagues..

Among the standouts he has tutored include BYU running back Luke Staley, who was the recipient of the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back and led the nation in scoring in 2001; Troy Edwards, Louisiana Tech's 1998 Biletnikoff Award honoree as the top collegiate receiver in the country; Louisiana Tech quarterback Tim Rattay, who finished 10th in balloting for the Heisman Trophy in 1999; and Boston College quarterback Glenn Foley, who finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1993.

Crowton has coached seven quarterbacks who have gone on to be selected in the NFL Draft

That's just your positiger paranoia talking. It's a condition that assumes when you compliment and show respect for one person you are insulting the other person. You compliment Krags therefore you are insulting Crowton. You compliment and respect Saban therefore you are automatically insulting Miles. Positiger Paranoia is what your describing.
