Was Crowton the highest paid OC in the NFL at the time? And thought to soon be an NFL HC?

Very similar comparison as Crowton was considered an offensive guru

The BYU magazine had articles about him having an "extra chip in his head"

None of it will matter unless we put a large NIL war chest behind him.

Results matter and we haven't seen that yet, but certainly room to be optimistic.
