    starts off with:

    Bear Report has learned that Gary Crowton, formerly the Bears offensive coordinator and currently holding the same post at the collegiate level at LSU, is the subject of some chatter in Baton Rouge concerning a possible return to the Windy City – the source is familiar with the inner workings of the Tigers program....

    They don't want him back as OC because they've already done that, but like the one guy pointed out, they are possibly looking at him as a QB coach, not a OC, and he asked if Crowton has any experience with that at any level. The answer is that:

    Crowton has coached seven quarterbacks who have gone on to be selected in the NFL Draft

    That article mentions several times that he is one of the top offensive minds in football. Haven't noticed it lately, have you? Actually if he is that good then why don't they want him back as OC?

    just because you can draw up a play doesn't mean you know how to call plays.

    Especially a team like the Bears who needs all the help from the coaching end they can get given their roster.
