I know the majority wants Crowton gone. But next year is a potential championship year, don't some of you think it's better to have a stable staff coming into a potential championship season?

I'm not enough of an expert to know what our real problems on offense have been.

My understanding is that most of the people on the rant have college football coaching experience though, so I will trust their opinions.

That is very true.

But hell, CROWTON won a damn title his first year, so anything is possible.

we won a title in Crowton's first year. I dont think a new OC is going to make our offense WORSE

As painful as the offense has been to watch the last couple of seasons, I think continuity at the OC level is the last thing we need.

We are on pace for the 71st rated offense in the country next year....

Everyone talks about Crowton, but there is more to it than just him. If our QB is running for his life (like the last two years) and the O - Line is not getting any better you need to start there as well. Sure against A&M we had two go for 100 yard game - this was an undersize, over matched D, but against the rest of the SEC, the openings really have not been there. Most of what Ridley made during the season was by his strength. So i put blame as well on the O - Line coach, as for Croton i blame him for not developing the QB's better.

It isn't all Crouton's fault. Studrawa needs help finding a new job, too.

Does anyone have the number of LSU's final offense ranking? I thought this would be a good place to ask instead of a new thread.

ETA: National ranking, that is. Did we crack the 80's?

I think we win a title this year with or without Crowton

I just want him gone so he doesn't get the credit.

when your o - line can't make an opening, your receivers drop more passes than they catch - that's Crowton. No i am not all for Crowton, but there are other issues that need addressing as well.

We win in spite of our offense, not because of it.

I just want to average at least 170/game passing AND rushing. I may have a heart attack from happiness if that happens
