Gary Crowton

Now looking back on things I see why Gary Crowton was let go. If Les would have let Gary run his offense like he did while at BYU we wouldn't be having these discussions today.

He's not even a D1 OC anymore. He got fired by Maryland after 1 year, went to the Canadian league and is currently at a FCS school.
You're right.....LSU should have kept him around.

crouton was possibly and probably the worst coach in lsu football history. Certainly the worst OC

Nick Saban couldn't win at Maryland.

Les let Crowton run his offense the first couple years. it worked with a 5th yr QB in Flynn in 07, but not so much in 08 with a RS freshman Lee. ppl say the offense has always been the same, but that's not true. had we been a little more conservative in 08, we might have won more games and not shot Lee's confidence to shite.

I guess it's Les' fault that not one of the other 128 D1 schools were interested in him too, right?

prob negative on both. what was that dude in 99 after Mo Watts left? McConnell I believe. bad OC. Lynn Amedee has to be mentioned if for nothing other than the Auburn pick 6 fest alone. so painful.
worst coach prob goes to Tepper.

It's because the All acc frosh qb regressed and was eventually benched when crowtons was there.

EDIT: I had a bad stat for 2008 total offense. LSU was #51. The scoring offense ranked top 30.
In 2007 LSU was #9 in the nation in total offense, #12 in PTS/G. Jarret Lee had his infamous pick 6 season the next year, but LSU remained in the top 30 in one of those offensive categories.
Les took control of the offense after that and his been running his offense ever since. You know where LSU fell to on offense in 2009? #102 in total offense and #76 in scoring. This has been Les's offense ever since 2009 started.
Between top 10 and 30 on offense before Les took over--that was Crowton. As you know, all this talent doesn't automatically do it once you stick them on offense, as we've witnessed ever since.

I agree but this offence is better suited for Miles because it is simple.
All the poor communications on the side line screwing up any rhythm , penalties, lack of awareness or being ahead of the game would get exposed worst than it does now with a spread, multiple formation up tempo offense.
I know all teams at time have some of these issues but lets be honest, this is the norm for LSU.

Not better suited to beat Bama, that's for sure.
Think about this those of you who complain that LSU doesn't have returning 5th year seniors to competently run the offense. In 2008 Gary Crowton got freshman QB who was thrust into action unexpectedly, to lead the Tigers to a top 30 offense in both total offense* and points.
Les Miles even with a senior Mett hasn't accomplished the same since.

I've heard it said that the 2008 season scared Les so much, that he basically took over the offense leading to much of the frustration we have today. Even prior to that, there were reports that Jimbo couldn't deal with Les's interference in the play calling. Looking back, all of this starts to make more sense.
