I can't remember why Miles let him go. Was it because his buddy Cammy Cam needed a job?

Gary couldn't tell Les to shut the frick up and let him run the offense.

That's my guess.

He was a mormon

They don't like mormon's in BR






















Oh and his offenses sucked

Crowton was probably fine. Les wouldn't let him work though.

At the time the complaints were what we later understood to actually be problems with Les

We all blamed the offensive woes on Crowton, until he got fired and the same problems were there 4-5 years later

Him and Miles being complete opposites led to the offense never developing much of an identity.

His offenses were scattershot grab-bag bullshite a lot of the time. Multiple formations and personnel changes are all well and good, until you're running 5 people off and on with two minutes left and the clock running, etc etc. Short-side flanker screens and hb options were the toss dive before the toss dive.

He hasn't been able to hold down a job since leaving LSU, btw

At the sudden canonization of Crowton.

#Neverforget

I don't know if it was Crowton or Miles responsible for this cluster frick but it was one of the most clueless moments I've ever seen. Who swaps out personnel (including QB) with 20 seconds, the clock running, zero timeouts and no way to get the play call in among that chaos.
