Blue Bombers name Crowton offensive coordinator

Football Betting Lines

01/30/2012 - Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers hired Gary Crowton as offensive coordinator on Monday, picking up in the process a coach with NFL and NCAA experience.

Crowton, most recently offensive coordinator for the University of Maryland, spent four years in the same position at LSU, where he won a BCS National Championship in 2007, and two years at Oregon. Prior to specializing on the offensive side of the ball, he held head coaching positions at BYU and Louisiana Tech.

"I am extremely excited to have Gary join the Blue Bombers coaching staff," said Winnipeg head coach Paul LaPolice. "His experiences in the spread offense are very similar to the type of offenses that are prevalent in the CFL. He will be a great teacher for our players and his expertise at the NCAA level will be especially valuable for our younger roster."

Between stints in the NCAA, Crowton spent two years as offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. His career has also taken him to Western Illinois, New Hampshire, Georgia Tech, and Boston College.
