yes

Just posted this in another topic...


I just say Crowten is going to stay just because I don't think they'll fire him this quickly. I just feel like they're going to give him another chance. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure that Crowten was the sole source of our offensive problems this season. Our lack of a running game due to poor offensive line play and also a retard at quarterback greatly contributed to our lack of success this season. I think if LSU plays well and absolutely demolishes Penn State in the Capitol One Bowl, Crowten stays and gets another chance. Miles isn't a complete idiot and knows that his job is on the line next season. He knew it after last season also and got a new DC. We'll see if he does the same with Crowten this year, but I'm not so sure. I'd love to get someone who I know would give us much better production and smarter play but I'm not sure who we would go after or get.

Belowpar said Kragthorpe was getting interviewed possibly or at least has been contacted but has Kragthorpe been a proven coordinator? He was not so great at Louisville calling his offense and was better at Tulsa. Which coach would we see if we were to hire him?

His offense at Louisville was ranked 99 this year and 45th last year but 6th in 2007. Was that production in 2007 just leftover Petrino influence? or what?

His offensive rankings at Tulsa were:
2003: 51st at 388ypg
2004: 73rd at 355ypg
2005: 39th at 402ypg
2006: 24th at 389ypg

Are those the numbers what we want at LSU? I mean anything is better than 108th but Kragthorpe has not been much better at Louisville. It seems to me to be more of a lateral move than an improvement. I really have no idea who we should pursue for OC because I don't really know who's available. It would be great to have Charlie Weis as our OC because of his offensive success and QB coaching skills but it would absolutely NEVER happen. Maybe if Miles took a 60% paycut and we offered Weis the rest, maybe we could pick him up *sarcasm noted here*.

I think a great OC for us would be Kevin Sumlin, head coach at Houston, because he is definitely a proven OC based on his success at Oklahoma and at Houston as well. However, I am positive he wouldn't take a demotion and be OC at LSU.

So I guess my question is, who ELSE could be considered for the OC position?

yes
