Gary Crowton (born June 14, 1957) is an American football coach. He was most recently the offensive coordinator at University of Maryland.[1][2]
Previously, Crowton served as offensive coordinator at the University of Oregon, head coach at Brigham Young University, offensive coordinator for the NFL's Chicago Bears, head coach at Louisiana Tech, and offensive coordinator at Louisiana State University, which won a national championship in 2008. 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 graduated from Orem High School in 1975 and went on to earn a B.S. in Physical Education from Brigham Young University in 1983.
He and his wife, Maren, have four daughters and three sons. Crowton made an appearance in the Mormon pop culture film The R.M..[3]
