Crowton out at LSU?

[cajunfan32]

what is the reason Bowden isn't considered a candidate? I remeber there was talk about him then it died. is he not interested? just curious.

[Policarp]

That's good, one less thing to worry about.

[CRAWFISH61]

According to Redzone, the boys at LSU did not want Crowton to interview. What they afraid of? It seems if he is such an awful OC they would be happy to let him go. Another example of the MAN keeping us down.LOL

In this case, I'm all about the "man" keeping us down. After all, one "man's" trash is another man's............yes, still trash.

I'm glad SF nixed this guy from the list.

[cajunfan32]

God I hope we dont hire him

I don't think its about being scared of UL, but not wanting Crowton in this state if his contract isn't renewed.

[Turbine]

Perhaps Crowton has a few recruits that LSU knows would follow him anywhere.

Especially in state.

Miles must have heard that I spoke with Crowton. That's probably the real reason behind it.

[NewsCopy]

  BATON ROUGE - Gary Crowton fully expects to remain as LSU's offensive coordinator for the final year of his contract that runs through the 2011 season and is not interested in any other jobs at the moment, he said Wednesday morning.

Hypothetical three way conversation between Les Miles, Joe Aleva, and Gary Crowton concerning some guy named Josh Parrot calling Gary Crowton about the UL head coaching position....enjoy.


(Joe Aleva is in his nice plush AD office when all of a sudden with a loud bang the door swings open and in walks the village idiot)

Les Miles: HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY JOE!!!!!!!!!

Joe Aleva: Les, whats the matter?

Les Miles: Awwww shucks....nothing really. Was kinda bored, wondered what you were doing...

Joe Aleva: Just looking over the 2011 athletic budget, you know, nothing important.

Les Miles: Great! Now look here Bazooka Joe, I got this awesome cat for an Offensive Coordinator, you know him?

Joe Aleva: I sure do Les, his name is Gary Crowton. So is there anything the matter with him?

Les Miles: Hell yes there is....Joe....I hear he talks to birds.

Joe Aleva: (stammered by what he just heard) Wh-What?

Les Miles: Yeah I heard from some of my staff that this cat has been talking to a Parrot.

Joe Aleva: A Parrot? Why would he be talking to a Parrot?

Les Miles: I dunno Bazooka Joe, he maybe just a bit down after how bad the offense turned out this year.

Joe Aleva: But Les you call the plays....(Les interrupts abruptly)

Les Miles: That's beside the boint Bazooka Joe, the fact of the matter is, I think he oughta take his name out of any coaching searches until he has had a thorough sicka...sicko...mental evaluation. Sicka...Sicko...what's the word I'm looking for Bazooka Joe...

Joe Aleva: Psychological?

Les Miles: Bingo. I don't call you Bazooka Joe for nothing.

Joe Aleva: Les....do you mind if I give Gary a quick call just to get abreast to the whole situation?

Les Miles: (Les is trying not to giggle because he just heard breast) Sure BJ (Short for Bazooka Joe and maybe the real reason he calls him Bazooka Joe as he is now trying not to giggle about just calling him BJ), go right and ahead and give him a holler.

Joe Aleva: (Notices Les trying to not to giggle) Alrighty then, let me just give him a....holler. (Joe picks up the phone and dials Gary's number, Les has just broken something in Joe's office)(Gary answers the phone)

Gary Crowton: Mr. Aleva, how are you doing today?

Joe Aleva: I'm doing fine and yourself?

Gary Crowton: I can't complain. So any good news on the coaching search we talked about or maybe some news on a contract extension? Hopefully this is good news...

Joe Aleva: Actually, (Les is gesturing Joe Aleva to not give away his identity as the one who spilled the beans) I heard from someone that you have been acting pretty strange lately. (Not sure how to ask him upfront that Les thinks he is talking to...birds) Gary, have you been.....talking to.....any.....ummmm...uhhh....new people lately?

Gary Crowton: Not sure what you mean Mr. Aleva?

Joe Aleva: Well.....I heard that.....ummmm...you were starting to talk to....ummmm....birds....

Gary Crowton: (Deep sigh) Is he in your office right now?

(Joe's eyes dart to Les and Les gestures wildly to tell him it wasn't him)

Joe Aleva: No Gary it's just me. Is there anything you want to tell me?

Gary Crowton: (Long pause) Joe....Les thinks I'm talking to birds. I got a call from a Joshua Parrot who covers the Ragin Cajuns over in Lafayette for the Daily Advertiser about my interest in their head coaching vacancy. Les must have overheard the phone conversation I had with him or maybe he overheard me and John Chavis talking about this, maybe I used his last name one too many times, and some how Les got it in his head that I am so distraught...that I am now talking to a parrot to help ease the pain of how awful the offense has been. Is this what you have heard also?

Joe Aleva: Yeah that sounds like exactly what I heard. (Les has now taped his nose up to look like a pig and making oink noises in Joe Aleva's office.) OK Gary, here is what we are going to do about all this, put your coaching search on hold for now, we won't talk about the offense struggles or a contract extension, until we get this all figured out OK?

Gary Crowton: Joe I don't want to lose out on any Head coaching positions I know I am qualified for, just because that moron you pay millions to can't tell the difference between birds and humans.

Joe Aleva: Gary...calm down...come down to my office tomorrow, and we will get this all figured out. Does that sound OK?

Gary Crowton: OK Joe, I just don't know how much more I can take of that guy.

Joe Aleva: Gary I understand your frustrations, and I promise you, tomorrow we will sort this whole mess out. Now just relax and we will worry about all this tomorrow. OK?

Gary Crowton: All right Joe, I will talk to you tomorrow.

Joe Aleva: OK Gary, you have a good day now. Goodbye.

Gary Crowton: You too Joe. Goodbye.

(Joe hangs up the phone, Les is on his eye phone playing with the new fart noise app he downloded)

Joe Aleva: Alright Les, I talked to Gary and he did seem a little frustrated and stressed out, maybe your right, I will get him in my office first thing tomorrow and we will see how we can help Gary get through this rough patch.

Les Miles: No more talking to Birds?

Joe Aleva: Not if I can help it Les.

Les Miles: Good...cause if this got out that my OC is yapping his troubles to birds, it might make me look foolish...and I just can't have it Bazooka Joe, not in my position. (Les has yet to remove the tape on his nose that made him look like a pig)

Joe Aleva: Totally understandable Les, I agree with you 100%.

Les Miles: Good....also if he was talking to birds, and giving them our plays they may fly to Ole Miss and give away our secrets. Can't have that. (Nose still taped up like a pig)

Joe Aleva: No one would want that to happen Les. I can assure you we will get everything rectified tomorrow. Nothing to worry about but the bowl game Les.

Les Miles: Perfect, sounds like a plan. Tell you what I'm about to head out and hit Ruth Chris for a steak or two, wanna join me? (Nose still taped)

Joe Aleva: No Les, I have a lot of work on my plate, I have the budget to finalize for next year, bowl bids to look at, just too much to do, so I will have to pass on your offer but maybe some other time.

Les Miles: Oh alright Bazooka Joe, you take it easy now, and you let me know how Gary is doing as soon as you figure out whats going on. You take it easy BJ. (Walks out of the office humming the theme from Bonanza, nose still taped up like a pig)

Joe Aleva: You take care now Les. Bye bye. (Waits for the door to close, and pages his secretary)

Secretary: Mr. Aleva, you paged me?

Joe Aleva: Yes, I did. I don't care what you do, but the next time that scattered brain half wit barges into my office so help me you will be working at the Department of Revenue stamping the backs of checks for the rest of your natural born life, do I make myself clear?

Secretary; Mr. Aleva I am so, so sorry, he caught me with my back turned and he just snuck past me. I promise you it will never happen again.

Joe Aleva: I pray it doesn't. If he tries it again, distract him, throw a tennis ball down the hall and get him to chase it, whatever you have to do. We may even have to get a camera system so I know if it's him. Anyways, just try and not let that happen again, OK?

Secretary: I sure will Mr. Aleva, and again I am very, very sorry.

Joe Aleva: It's OK. Anything else come along while Wile E. Coyote was in my office?

Secretary: (chuckling) Nothing at all sir. Anything else you wanted?

Joe Aleva: No that's about it. I just hope the rest of the day is quiet.

Secretary: Me too sir. (Joe hangs up the phone and stares out the window)

Joe Aleva: (sigh)....I miss Coach K.

[Rebel02]

Wow...that is just awesome. I could actually see the whole thing going down exactly as it was described! Guess I won't be doing much the rest of the morning. The thought of Miles taping his nose to look like a pig keeps coming to mind.
