Hard to place all the blame on him though. Our O never had a reliable "home base" all of '09. Our OL stunk so our running game slogged, we couldn't run an option play

---

Then why did Crowton call it every game? Even though Jefferson was clearly not comfortable executing the option play? And the plays that Jefferson was comfortable executing (like a designed QB draw that was run against Auburn) we never saw again. We also never saw the QB read option play with Shepard at QB again after we ran it against UGA a few times for 10-15 yards.

Crowton's playcalling in 09 was abysmal. Against MSU we were in the wildcat formation with Holliday lined up on the outside, and the QB handed it off to Holliday....the only problem was it was called to the short side of the field.... Why on earth would you run Holliday to the short side of the field on a wildcat play? Doesn't make sense.

I don't get what Crowton does....run plays that we don't execute well because the defense won't expect it?

What game was it where Keiland had a big gain on a run from a base formation on the first play, La Tech? Then as soon as the play is over the Chinese fire drill ensues with multiple WRs coming on the field , and then we throw incomplete from the spread formation. Obviously that was Miles' Big 10 mentality showing with him being so involved in play calling :sarcasm:

where was this discussed? I must have missed those threads

pretty much any thread that was complaining about the playcalling during last season.

i'm sure you hear more about the offensive woes than most on here...what are your thoughts on this topic?

So true- But Crowton AND Miles are to blame, they both should be hung for the embarassing offensive showing last year. I still cannot understand why RS was not allowed to throw a SINGLE pass all last year- that has me perplexed as much as anything...

---

Exactly,the whole offense was an embarrassment and both Miles and Crowton are to blame.

i would really love to share all, trust me.

but i will say the wrong person is getting the majority of the blame when this comes up.

are both to blame? absolutely.

biggest reason is they should be prepared going into a game and be prepared to make adjustments during.

i like to see offenses attack and dictate what the defense has to do, not the other way around.

there were too many times last year when a four man rush got to the QB.

there were too many times last year when a defense was blitzing and all the receivers were running down field, no hitches, no slants, no comebacks.

but not to get too far off topic, both deserve blame and i think they know that and will fix it

That is exactly what I'm talking about. It's was almost like they scripted the game plan and would not adjust to what the defense was doing.

fixed...

Half of you on here probably never played a down of ball, coached ball or even played a sport besides cross country!!People who know football from the inside out know what i am talking about..I dont care who calls the plays, but let our offensive players loose we have to much talent across the board..If miles calls them same make up, ill give him credit. he had a good offensive team at oka. state, dont know how involved he was with the play calling...Only crowton, should call the plays all the time,if miles has anything to do with the play calling fire crowton and dont have a OC...the ole miss game just showed how muc the coaches know whats going all of the time.which i think is pretty critical!! I dont like bama no more than anyone on here, but saban is the best coach in football. He know how to recruit and coach up his kids as good as any coach out there..
