Crowton out at LSU?

just curious b/c i wasnt on this board at the time we were searching for a bball coach. Was marlin's name mentioned much? or was it a bit of a surprise? Because my feeling is that we will hire someone who really hasn't been greatly mentioned on here.

Well UL played Sam Houston the last two years so some were aware. But I think SlappyCajuns was the first to mention his name. Link

thank you for the link. I think it's obvious our next head coach's name has already been mentioned on here but I dont know if it's someone we all expect to get the job.

Every play is designed to score. I don't buy into an arm chair quarterback's perspective. You don't go 9-2 in the SEC if you don't know what your doing. He's very limited by his Quarterbacks making bad decisions, dropped passes, missed blocks, and sometimes the athletes on defense actually make plays. He's been very successful everywhere he's been. He won't leave LSU for UL, you can bank on that.

Crowton won't have to make that decision, his days at LSU are numbered. In 2008, LSU finished 55th in total offense. In 2009, they finished 112th and they finsihed this year at 93rd. Like he did with the co-defensive coordinators, Les will give him the opportunity to find another gig before cutting him loose. Speculation has it that LSU will pony up as much as $750,000 if the right guy comes available.

_ His play calling cost LSU in the Arkansas game. Whether you like LSU or not he has made great 5 star athletes look terrible. What would he do to our players. I am sure LSU would give him great support for our job to get rid of him. Buyer beware! _

I thought the defense getting steamrolled in the second half had more to do with their loss rather than Crowton's playcalling. They gave up an average of 10 yards per carry on the final drives in the last quarter if I'm not mistaken and their defensive line was blown off the ball allowing Arkansas to control the clock.

It did, Crowton is not perfect but Myles has taken over that offense since last season. People close to the program know this, its been discussed in the media and talk radio in Baton Rouge. Crowton is making between $450,00 to $500,000. Anyone that compares him to Jerry Baldwin doesn't have a clue. Baldwin was a DL coach for crying out loud.

Sounds like you're describing Zaunbrecher

Your comments...and that of Zephyr...are right on.
