Who made Crompton: Chaney or Reeves?

FWIW Someone asked that very question to Doug Matthews and he said Crompton gets the bulk of the credit after that Kiffin. And he hates Kiffin. Said something to the effect that Reeves was not a factor.

I believe Kiffin is mostly responsible with some Reaves help. It's foolish to think that the 2 QB's on this staff didn't have anything to do with his improvement while Chaney did...a guy that wasn't and never has been a QB coach!

I am going to say to Kiffin was the one responsible for this due to the support he offered Crompton and the fact he constantly took the blaim for Crompdaddy's mistakes. Kiffin got in his head and got him to play like a Quarterback.....I hate it that he has to get it, but it is what it is.:wacko:

I agree completely. Crompton was schizophrenic (sp?) and Kiffin kept him more or less even (emotionally). He also spoon fed him bits of success, like the 5 TDs in the Western Kentucky route, which very few coaches would've done.

Chaney; he has a coaching history of making good QBs. Does the name Drew Brees ring a bell?

all Crompton, X, Chaney, and Reaves are responsible. X gets the most credit because it was ultimately his call to keep Crompton in when 99% of volnation at the time wanted Nicholas Stephenson. X gets credit for evaluating and using Hardesty for main RB as well.

The transformation was incredible, who did this? I suspect Chaney, because if Reeves did this he would have been re hired by now.

Kiffin, CHaney & Reaves.. all 3 had a hand it in... wasn't any one individual but CLK made call on staying with him so if you want one, that would probably be it

Kiffin staying with him and supporting him.

Reeves put a lot of time individually let's him work through various drills, exercises, etc

Chaney put packages together that helped get receivers in favorable coverages where cromp could make throws he was most comfortable with.

In my opinion any coach that supported him, would have done as much as kiffy. And anyone who would put in the time could do most of what reeves did. Chaney did the part that takes skill as a coach.

I think Crompton made Crompton. Kiffin just simplified the offense by making him only read half of the field. That was important because his head was loaded with so much useless crap from three different offenses that he didn't know up from down. Once he knew what to do, his ability took over. He wasn't a highly prized recruit for nothing. It was an atrocity how much potential was wasted with our former coaching staff. It wasn't some miracle that a highly rated QB actually started playing like one. It also can't be discounted how much it helped to have someone who truly (acted like he...) believed in him.

Fulmer and the DeClawedfense ruined his UT career. Clawson was also too rigid for him. He wanted his system in place at all costs whether the players had time to learn a complicated offense or not and then he went and called the UT players too stupid to learn his offense. Of course that is not a direct quote... Then Fulmer stuck his nose in.... Ah, disaster.

Probably all 3. I would give the majority of the credit to Kiffin/Chaney though. I saw what Reaves did with Garcia and Smelley, and I wasn't impressed.

Coach Cutt developed Crompton. He was still considered a stud heading into 2008 and the new offense and Clawson got in his head and his confidence was shot. The next group only got back what was already there. Developed? Give me a freakin' break! They got his confidence back despite what the brain trust on sites like this one and the newspapers did to prevent it.

Kid always had the tools. The biggest thing he had to do was quit listening to jerks like fans.

I think all 3 had some role. Chaney will do great with QB's though. There's no denying that X's demeanor (cockiness and confidence) calmed Crompton down. As much as we dislike him as a guy, X can coach offense...

None of them. They simplified this for him over the course of the season, and his numbers improved... all of that was gone in the bowl game, so he hadn't really made any progress IMO. Cromp just never "got it".

Doesn't matter... Chaney created a world beater in Brees while at Purdue. He's a pretty darn good QB coach.

What? They did simplify the offense for him. They also boosted his confidence. Crompton didn't play that bad in the bowl game. Our lines just blew against VT. I don't put that on Crompton.

mr. and mrs. crompton love each other very much, and they expressed this love in a sexual manner...the result of this union was jonathon crompton...they made him. hopefully kiffin, chaney, and reaves weren't there.
