Coach Crowton.

He wasn't my first choice, but I happily bought into the hype that soon followed. 2001 gave some positive early season returns, but after the wheels came off, that was a sign of things to come.

He was the worst of all coaches, as a head coach, nothing bad about him personally, so one couldn't dislike him but not forceful or properly organized enough to command the HC job. He might be better served as a career OC. Norm Chow has done okay with that, so no shame in it.

His mistakes, seem to be selection of a divisive assistant coach, failure to exercise tight control over the troops, the QB shuffle, the Reno disaster, Stanford disaster, inserting Beck too early, not backing Berry enough and the inability to provide guidance during the bad days.

Again, appears to be a very competent OC, but may not be cut out for HC.
