because we had a q.b. that ranked 2 on a scale of 1-10. do you blame crowton for calling plays like that with a "2" for a q.b.?

in fact, if you win 10 games with a "2", it's pretty impressive. I know you remember when we used to call him a wizard when he had a q.b. that at least ranked "7".

1) You need to read that article from the Oregon fan from 2007

2) Crowton's offense did exactly what was predicted in that article from 2007

3) Crowton's offense, after 2 years, is still looking for an identity.

4) In 2007, LSU's offense was struggling against UK with Jacob Hester. We ran Charles Scott and our offense responded. Well guess what, CS disappeared from the offense until OT.

5) See above. What works, Crowton gets away from it. What doesn't work, Crowton sticks with it. This went on for 3 years. That just blows my mind.

6) Crowton should have been fired after the #107 of #117 ranked offense.

7) Crowton does not take advantage of mismatches. UNC with it's depleted secondary. Auburn with it's pourous secondary just to name a few.

8) Crowton very seldom adjusts to our weakness or problems of the day such as when our qbs are getting killed, we seldom counter with quick slants or draws. Still goes with the scripted plays or it seems.

9) Crowton didn't recognize how valuable of a weapon we had with a fired up Tridon Holiday in the 4th quarter vs Penn St in the mud. TH was not struggling with his balance on punt returns and limited offensive plays. TH made big plays with ease and was never allowed to see the field again when we needed him most. Poor OC recognition. If possible, rewatch the 4th quarter and you will see for yourself...No TH = OC fail.

10) When GC left a job for another, the offense he left improved.

11) As predicted by that 2007 article, GC will make our players look bad and confused by the 3rd year and that has happened.

12) I heard on Charles Scott's winning run at UGA, the original call was for JJ to pass and JJ was not comfortable with the call and convince the coaches to let CS run instead. Result TD.

13) Some say our QB's the problem, but there are too much other things wrong that are more obvious. No offensive identity. 107th rank. Crowton's overall resume and so on. I will be very disappointed if we have GC for 2011.

Naw that's Ok brah, you read the Oregon fan stuff.


LSU 2007: #1 National Championship

Oregon 2007: 9-4 Losses to Cal, Oregon St., UCLA & Arizona

I already question his judgment for not getting rid of his arse last year so it won't change a thing for me. Guess Miles enjoys his arse getting closer to being on the hot seat.

Will you still be a Miles supporter
if he does indeed keep Crowton?

Yep.

To the OP, yes, he's our coach and I will support him. It's that simple. I don't have to agree with who he retains or let's go within his own staff, but it's his staff. At the end of the day, he's responsible for the decisions and if we're successful, he'll get credit. If we're not, he'll get the heat. So he'll either win with Crowton or lose with him, but it's his choice and I'll support our team and staff.

I will be utterly astounded if he's our cordinator next year.

What Victry said.

Crowton needs to go. If Miles can't be objective and see that, then Miles needs to go too.

No. It shows two things:

1. He is loyal to a fault
2. He may be able to recruit players, but apparently, can no longer recruit coaches

Pretty much this. If he lets him stay, it's time for him to hit the road as well. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If he keeps that moron around, he can go on the job hunt with him. We can always find another set of coaches. Neither one of them are irreplaceable. The ONLY reason I want Miles here for next season is just to get this recruiting class in. After next season, I want him to hit the road anyway. I like the guy as a human, but I fricking hate him as a coach. I don't want to say I don't want LSU to succeed next year, but anything that sends Miles packing along with GC would make me quite happy.

If Miles really thinks 2 years of being atrocious in offense is satisfactory or that Crowton just doesnt have the right players....then Id really have to wonder about the man's judgement.

Id support LSU as always...but Id also want Miles fired after next year if he keeps Crowton and we get the same results.

His butt would have to be on the chopping block.
