Me and a friend were discussing this today. Go back and watch all the games from 2007 and see what creative play calling can do.

Toss dive or short side option? Such good choices.

When will you realize it doesn't matter who the OC is as long as miles is the head coach?

Do you realize how difficult that is to defend? It's like, the hardest play in the history of football to defend.

I would. even the reined in Crowton of 2010 did a couple things I think this team could use:

1) more screens
2) zone read

2008 If not for Jarrett Lee's pick 6's you would be singing a different tune. Miles put Jefferson in and pulled the reins in and THAT is why 2009 sucked so bad. Had zero to do with Crowton. And Maryland lost their whole team except the QB the year before he went there.

That is a 100% Les Miles play. He just adjusted to the toss dive.

Except he did that.

And Crowton was his QB coach. And JL wasn't ready.

No JL sucked too.

He isn't good. Look at literally anywhere in his career and you see a failure to develop QBS and a bad OC.

09 sucked because the OL sucked. Jordan actually looked like a competent passing QB that year. like 2000 yds, around 20 TDs.

T-Bob and Dworacyk were first time starters and got manhandled though. and we never found a competent replacement at FB for Quinn. that was by far the worst rushing team of Les' tenure. that plus the 08 Int issue made Les "recommit" to the running game in 2010 and become even more conservative.

I agree. Crowton was a scapegoat in my opinion. We don't have a good OC because Miles won't let go of offense. Therefore, all we get are puppets on strings. I think all the changes have been done on the wrong side of the ball. Wait till A&Ms defense gets rolling. I haven't seen any good sticks on defense since we let Chavis go!

Louisiana Tech vs Nebraska 1998

This is Crowton's offense, not the crap Leslie made him call.
