re: Gary Crowton's last 4 jobs:

I can only watch the games and go by what I see from the offense and its mostly chaotic. Not pretty with big time players sitting on the bench.

you call winning the SEC championship backing in?

No, but we did get extremely, extremely lucky and the stars and planets and protons and electrons all aligned for us on that night. I doubt it will be a long, long time before we see another team lose its last game of the regular season (with one loss) and still make it into the big show. I thank Tennessee for beating UGA and UK in 27 overtimes to get themselves into the SEC title game. I am very glad we didn't draw UGA on that December day.

That said, yes we were NC's, but the thrill of that c'ship, for me, doesn't compete with Jan 4th, 2004...even though crystal still measures the same and when you win it, you win it. Unless a playoff arrives, I doubt we ever see another 2 loss champion.

Which is stupid because we still backed into that game after Syracuse beat Notre Dame and Boise State beat Hawaii. We didn't even win the AP that year. When most people outside of the south talk about the national champion that year, they are talking about USC. Which pisses me off, but it doesn't make me any more or less excited about 03 and 07. Both were "lucky" seasons. Both seasons I enojyed.

You need to learn what "backing in" means. LSU won 7 games in a row in 2003 to make the national title game.

Gary Crowton's last 4 jobs:
OC LSU
OC Oregon
HC BYU
OC Chicago Bears


If he sucks so much, how come he keeps getting these pretty prestigious positions? I mean, there are very few coordinators--if any--who can list these type jobs on their resumes.

This is such an incredibly fricking retarded argument! How about we look at trends when he's coaching for these teams. I believe he gets worse with time at a particular school-he regresses not progresses, not a good thing. But, hey look at the bright you started another retarded thread on the Tiger Rant.

I asked this before in here but it didn't get answered... when did Carl become such a ranter?

Meyer had 2 things that Crowton doesn't.

1) sustained consistent success at his previous stops.

2) evidence that his system works in the SEC

---

Meyer has 1 thing that Crowton doesn't...the willingness or ability to adapt his system based on players and competition. I'll give you number 1, but I want to see Meyer over the next couple of years without Tebow and Strong.

And we still needed 2 teams to lose in the last week in order to make the championship game. How is that not backing in?

Kennesaw, I couldn't have stated it better than you did in your first post on this thread. we are so easy to scout and prepare for tendency wise it is ridiculous. I agree that he probably deserves one more year.

I honestly think that it is POSSIBLE that the thinning of diverse tailback talent will make us more difficult to pin down from a tendency standpoint. If that is the case we could jump over 50 spots and be a middle of the pack offense.

On the other hand he could just find different guys to fit into his currently ridiculously compartmentalized offense and we'll be similarly easy to prepare for.

btw, I used to live out that way and enjoyed it. Barrett parkway is a bitch to drive through though. we've been gone 8 years now and it has become a foreign concept to me that it could actually take 25 - 45 minutes to go 3 miles.

I'll tell you the difference - it is... umm it is....
I don't care what it is - all I know is Saban did it GREAT the first time and Miles RUINED the second just like everyone else in the world keeps telling me.

It is too much trouble to think for myself and form opinions - so I go with the general flow of other knowledgeable rantards and opposing team (mainly bama) fans who have unbiased view of saban and miles.

Miles suckz and SABIN RULZ
