BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton has resigned and a person familiar with his plans says the assistant coach is taking a similar job at Maryland under new Terrapins coach Randy Edsall.
Crowton has been with LSU four seasons, starting in 2007, when the Tigers won a national title. LSU coach Les Miles announced Crowton’s resignation on Thursday but is saying only that he’ll take a similar job elsewhere.
Crowton has said he recently interviewed at Maryland, and the person who told The Associated Press he’ll take that job spoke on condition of anonymity because Maryland has not announced it.
LSU has gone 40-13 during Crowton’s time with the Tigers but ranked last in the Southeastern Conference in passing in 2010.
