Arguments against firing Crowton (and why they are stupid)

1) "Hiring a new OC would waste a year for the new OC to implement his system"

"Wasting a year" would mean less offensive production. But our offense could not get any worse than it is now, and it does not really take a whole year to adjust to a new OC. Look at Auburn: In Gus Malzhan's first year (09 season), Auburn increased its offensive production massively.

2) "Its not Crowton's fault, its the QB play"

While our QBs have struggled this year, particularly Jefferson, it is obvious that some of the struggles are due to shitty play calling. JJ gets blamed for a lot of 3 and outs, but its hard to get the first down when you call 5-yard routes on 3rd & 7. Crowton also doesn't give his QBs any chance to prove they can throw downfield effectively. Against the worst pass defense in the SEC last week we hardly ever tried to throw it deep. In addition, Crowton doesn't call plays that go along with JJ's ability. We could have Ryan Mallett under center and Crowton would still be calling options to the short side of the field.
