of BYU. You may think that's unfair, but every coach knows that's exactly what they signed up for. Crowton would have fired himself if he was the AD.

bottom line was to win 6 games and a win over Boise St gives him 6...

OTOH, a win over Boise may have changed the attitude on the team

Crowton did the right thing after the 2001 team's core players graduated

There was going to be a recession in BYU football with or without Crowton

The coach you are denigrating has the stadium named after him.

Lavell was the man!

Crowton had 4 years to create a winner and failed.

Why does everyone forget that it was Mike Borich that was the man. He was why

With all this NFL talent you speak of, how come Crowton only won 5 games.

coolblue

The NFL talent was very young in 2004

Did you not see the SOS for that season?

Because he wasn't a good coach.

Walter Bellhaven

He still would have been fired. Losing games was just a small part

Beck was hardly a guy that looked like NFL talent that year.

IIRC in that game, we tried to center the ball on 1st down.
