I am not going to extremes here. I did not expect 2003 to win 8 or 9 games. However, it was so obvious to me that BYU was a rudderless mess by the middle of 2003. The players did not believe in Crowton, the play on the field was remarkably inconsistent, the program was soft and without pride and Crowton's answer was to take over more responsibilities himself. This is not to say that BYU did not have other issues as they did and still do. This is to point out that if all things at BYU were great the football team would still be wickedly inconsistent and struggle more frequently than it should have because it was led by a HC that was obviously in over his head.
Regardless, I do like the new you born again hard and whatnot. You think far more clearly. I would like to think I had some influence on this metamorphisis.  |
The arguments centered around specific arguments made ostensibly to prove Crowton was a bad head coach. Bad arguments are bad arguments (like bad coaching leads to indecisiveness which leads to more injuries), even if the conclusion may approach being accurate (even if a huge amount of hyperbole got thrown in).
I thought Crowton was an average head coach, people here thought he was worse than Gomer Pyle heading up NASA research. It wasn't that I thought he was the best coach, it's just that the difference in severity of our opinions seemed to give you the impression that I did.
BYU is too tough of a place to coach if you're only average. However, how many superior head coaches are out there that will fit at BYU? Divine intervention, I tells ya.
