Very similar comparison as Crowton was considered an offensive guru

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

Crowton spent two years in the NFL, so not the same

Sorry, Gary was not considered a top NFL guy. Also, he was the HC at a minor g5

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

Big NIL will attract the raw talent out there but maybe you don't want that.
