Crowton has more to do with current win/loss than Miles...

All we needed to do was run twice and kick a field goal but Crowton tried to pass twice. This crap has bitten us on the butt all season. We would run all over La tech for 4 straight times then pass three and punt!!!! It's rediculous. We need ten yards for a first down and we do a pass to lafell at the line of scrimmage and he immediatly gets tackled because the play has him no blockers 
The culprit here that is influencing our win/loss is Crowton. Crow must Go!
Also, why in the heck has the number one dual threat quarterback in the nation out of high school not thrown one single pass!!! Crow must Go.
Why do we keep putting JJ in tough positions to have to win us games with all the talent we have around him? Crow must Go!
Who draws up these stupid plays that aren't working any more? Example: Option play with your only good quarterback who has a sprained ankle? Or throws to a reciever at the line of scrimmage with no blockers (i know i said that one already just makes me) Crow must Go!
Miles allows this crap to happen and I don't know why. Miles has done some stupid time management crap too. But if we stayed on the field longer and ran more offensive plays rather than this 3,4 , 5 and out crap, miles wouldn't have to manage his time better!
Thare's my rant for the day. I feel better now.

Pac 10 Offense doesn't work in the SEC plain and simple, you have to have enough confidence in your line to let you have one yard, what would have worked really well on the 2 point conversion, put everyone up on the line like your going to sneak in then toss it to ridley as he walks into the endzone.

We should have ran after the penalty on the 2 point conversion gave us the ball at the 1.5 yard line. At least if you pass make it a play action pass instead of a 50/50 fade to a guy who only catches about half the passes he gets his hands on. Terrible play calling.

From one of today's articles:
Who called it?
quote:
"I was expecting to run the ball a little bit and put us a little closer to field goal range," tailback Stevan Ridley said. "That didn't happen. They also didn't call a run on the 2-point conversion (with LSU down 25-23 moments before recovering an onside kick). We're down on the goal line and need 2, and we decide (laughing) to throw two fades in a row? But I mean that's the game. That's not what coach Crowton wanted to call. That's out of my control."

Our defense made great strides this year with a coordinator change and we have got to make an offensive change as well. We have top 10 offensive talent and are in the bottom 15% of offensive production this year. This is horrible!!!
Dang you Crowton!!!
Crow must Go!!!

This says that Miles is causing the problem. HMMM!Got 2 OCs and no HC.

If Ridley really said that, we will be seeing a heavy dose of Trindon on Saturday.

The head coach needs to see the needs of his team and fix it. He saw the need in defense and quarterback last year and made the necessary changes for this year and those areas have improved somewhat over last year. The obvious need for gametime offensive decision making (play calling/clock management etc...) should prompt miles to make the changes we need to continue to compete for championships. All Miles needs to do is look at the numbers to tell him where he needs to make the change. Bottom of the SEC in total offense

The other teams running back is allowed to throw a pass but our No. 1 dual threat recruit is not (because he doesn't know the offense????) 
There isn't one pass play the kid can learn to mix it up and make the defense have a little doubt??? There are about 6 different options you have with the "wild cat" formation. I guess in Crowton's mind it's more fun to change half the personel on the field to run a different 6 plays. It tips the other team off and keeps our qb guessing about whether he can get the play off. Also keep in mind that all of these pass plays that everyone keeps bitching about were run by a qb with a hurt ankle who had tweaked it right before half time. The guy is a clown.

Exactly...Miles said Crowton called the passes and Ridley said Crowton didnt. The question here should be which idiot didnt call the running plays?
Posted on 11/24/09 at 9:31 am to TigerWilson88
That statement says it all! Even with giving consideration for the Perriloux debacle ,LSU has a stable of guys who can run like deer and catch the ball and still Crowton has us at 106 ranking nationally? Crowton has to GO!

What I don't understand is why on the two point conversion, we don't run a set with Jefferson under center, Ridley in at Fullback, and Shepard at RB. The defense has to watch for the QB sneak, dive play to Ridley, and a pitch out to Shepard. The Saints do this all the time with Bush and he walks it in every single time.

Your reading comprehension is lacking homey. Ridley clearly said Crowton didn't want to call the run. No where in there did he say Miles.

No doubt. Ole Crow-ton has been showing his arse since the first game. Not just the play calling, how long will it take for him to correct the delay of game and confusion at the line bullshite. Every freakin game its the same thing. And before someone says its because JJ is the one thats confused (you are right) but only because the person who should be teaching him the Offense sucks tremendously at it. There are no signs of development in many areas on the offensive side of the ball and that should point directly at the OC. As my friend would say "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest his nut sack". But Ole Crow will proly beat the piss out of some team in a bowl game that the media will be saying is better then us, then the whole wiztard thing will start again.

It's sad if a head coach doesn't have enough confidence to let his coordinator do his job. Heck that's why you hire the guy in the first place...to run your offense!

It doesn't matter who you get if Miles doesn't let the guy do his job, same reason Jimbo left, screening and changing the plays. I'm no fan of Crowtons but he'll most likely leave on his own instead of taking the heat for Happy The Clown!

Miles is in charge so he is responsible. I could see problems with his coaching the year he won the NC. Too many penalties and the play calling were problems that were very easy to see. Les had the same mental mistakes against Auburn but MF and Byrd bailed him out. I remember everyone I was watching the game with jump up and down giving high 5's then look at each other and say that was the dumbest call they had ever seen. Also if I am not mistaken they ask Miles after the game about the time issue and he said, "we had 18 sec. left". No Les you had 8 sec. left.

I approve
Lester trusted the Wiz with the keys to the kingdom and got burned just like all of us
of course its Miles' fault for putting that much faith in Crowton so Miles's certainly still catches a ton of blame
but i still like our coach and have confidence he will correct himself

According to Miles, Crowton was doing his job on the last drive. If that is Crowton doing his job (throwing 3 times instead of running it when in FG range) then I should get to kick him in the nuts
