crowton, my friend, did not suck

Yes, he did.

I guess he got a bad deal at Maryland also?

As long as we win, I don't care how dynamic or how mundane the offense is. Sure it is great to have an offense that is as exciting as the Saints. How's that working out so far this year?I'll take LSU's record and offense.

I'm sure that Les caused Crowton to fail at MD, also.

And thru all of this it seems we still rank 90th or worse every year?

Do we rank 90th or worse this year?

(7 passing TDs - 1 a HB pass, 27 rushing TDs, 31 XPs, 26 FGM)

It's not like Crowton has a history of sputtering offenses whereever he goes, or fanbases that are happier to see him leave rather than sadder to see him stick around.

Crowton's current offense is the second worst in the CFL....2 yards ahead of the worst.

I don't know what is wrong, but it is clearly no fun to watch this offense. All the Les supporters are going to point to how great his record at LSU is, but just imagine how good his record could be with a more imaginative offensive scheme.

Don't forget we hired a "passing game coordinator" a few years ago. That didn't help, either.
