    As is his head.


    As I said before, i think Les could be a lifer if he changed his philosophy on offense. His reluctancy to make changes could lead to his demise. I dont think it happens at 8-4 either but if we finish poorly with some ole miss-like losses and the offense remains one of the worst in the country, it may happen. The mob mentality may win out.


    I wonder if les is really more stubborn than dinardo. i guess we will see. its getting close.

    In what way? Did he hold onto his DCs? You really think he either wants or will hold on to Crowton?

    as long as we hold that fundamental difference, there's not much more to discuss.

    this urban myth some have created to shift the blame off les is simply that.

    what isnt a myth, is les dictates the offense at practice and the offensive gameplan itself. crowton simply follows it.

    It isn't all perfect or all crap, I criticize but realize there are a lot of positives about our team this year. Unfortunately it is being negated by the piss poor handling of our QBs and offense.

    The QB situation has been mishandled since Perrilloux was run off. There is no excuse for our offense to be this terrible for this long. It is very frustrating to have a team this good with an offense being mismanaged to the degree that it is.

    Discipline is more than just penalties, it is mental toughness and playing smart and cognizant of the game situation. Our teams have been pretty well behaved off the field, but they exhibit a certain unfinished quality that reminds me of Miles. But I think you're right, it hasn't been awful every game.

    I would argue exactly the opposite, since Crowton's coaching abilities and tendencies have been thoroughly documented. Change the names and years and you have a carbon copy of Crowton's offensive schemes and team characteristics from his BYU and Oregon days. Never has there been a coincidence less unlikely in this sport. The one thing that has worked with anything remotely approaching consistency is Ridley up the middle, and that is how Les is "meddling" with the offense. Ditching Crowton in the offseason and replacing him with a proven pro-style OC will instantly improve this offense.

    You claim this in nearly every rant. And never list a positive. You have zero credibility with me.
    Don't tell me...no let me guess. You are not being "inspired"? Blah blah blah blah...I can't even read a fraction of your posts. You are like a car alarm - loud, repetitive, annoying and ultimately pointless.

    I am like a car alarm? Should I have expected to have a conversation with you? You definitely don't inspire confidence that we'll have a future conversation worth a damn, where you offer dialogue rather than insult.

    I kinda had a feeling you'd go ape sht, but I wasn't really directing everything I said at you. I just decided to quote you because I had a counterpoint to some of what you said.

    :lol:

    Sht's hilarious.
