Thought this was the interesting part:
Crowton is most known for his aggressive offensive style, such as the "razzle dazzle" offensive scheme utilized in Chicago (as brought to the limelight by then Kansas City Chiefs head coach Gunther Cunningham).
Crowton is one of the biggest frauds in football coaching history. He somehow parlayed three mediocre years at Louisiana Tech into the Bears OC job, where he last two years. The Bears offensive rankings under Crowton were 25th and 28th, with the Bears finishing in last place both years. After Crowton left, the Bears went 13-3. Go figure. Crowton took over the successful midmajor BYU program and immediately ran it into the ground, posting 3 straight losing seasons (in the Mountain West!) and getting fired.
Year after year Crowton slipped further down the coaching ladder...college HC, college OC, CFL OC, Div II OC, consultant, to his present job as HS OC.
Great work, Gary.
