Was he a victim of being handcuffed like all the other OC's? He was a former NFL OC (only 1 year) but I read that his offenses were typically explosive and very aggressive. Hmmmmmm.

He's been terrible everywhere he's been.
Gary Crowton is bad because of Gary Crowton, not Les Miles.

What has he done since leaving LSU? (serious question, not sure I've heard his name since LSU)

He was a victim of a control freak, egotistical, head coach with an antiquated offensive scheme that doesn't allow for modern offensive schemes.

Do we really need to spell this out?

he didn't help his case elsewhere

No, he's the reason Les is the way he is today. Les turned the offense over to Crowton in 2007, and it was obviously very successful when run by a talented, experienced 5th year senior. When we tried to run the same wide open offense with Lee in 2008, the year of the Pick 6 occurred and Les obviously vowed to never let that happen again. He decided that he would run the ball, play superior defense and special teams, win more than he lost and have job security for life. And he's pretty much gotten away with it ever since.

2007 we saw how good Crowton's offense could be with seasoned guys everywhere (Flynn, Hester, Doucetm, Byrd, LaFell)
Then we saw how badly it unravels when we young QBs the next year and ever since then Miles has had near complete control of the offense.
Jarrett Lee & Gary Crowton set this program back badly on offense and a lot of people dont realize that with what happened in 2008.

some may have read this interview with crowton from the Baltimore sun from 2011. He verifies what most suspected.

In a 50-minute interview, Crowton said bluntly that "No, it wasn't my offense" at LSU and that it would be unfair to make assessments based soley on those four years.
"Were there parts of that offense that were mine? Yeah. The philosophy that Coach Miles had was to be good on defense, be good on special teams and win it in the fourth quarter," Crowton said. "We won a lot of games in the fourth quarter. We beat Auburn twice in the fourth quarter. What it did is it shortened the game. We didn't have a lot of offensive plays. When you look statistically, it wasn't great, but that wasn't our goal. Our goal was to win games. We won 40 in four years."

Crowton had a top offense at Byu . A top , #8 or 9 offense at Oregon, too offense at LA tech and when he gets here we were around # 117-120.
IT'S NOT THE O/C'S

2007 was a record setting offense. 2008 was productive outside of the turnovers...the defense also sucked that year. After that point, everyone was handcuffed

Stick to boudin.

The only good OC Miles had was the one that Saban hired and the one he left at OKC. Maybe miles just misfires a lot in hires or nobody decent wants to work with him. How many of his 5 OCs have a decent job? Who would hire Cameron?
