We thought maybe it was his track record. Or maybe his knowledge of the game or his offensive philosophy. Or the fact he, too, has a head not suited for wearing white caps with high fronts.
Alas, it was none of these things. A single quote from Gary Crowton’s introductory press conference at LSU explains everything. It’s all so clear now.
Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator Gary Crowton will replace Jimbo Fisher in the same capacity at LSU. This should dispel concerns by some (read: Jimmy Ott) that Les Miles seeks to run an old school, conservative, pound it up the middle style offense. It also makes us feel a little better about LSU’s commitment to keeping a top-tier coaching staff rather than going cheap and promoting some unknown assistant from within.
