Steve Kragthorpe LSU Offensive Coordinator.

Word out of Baton Rouge is the Mad Hatter has hired Kragthorpe.

My feelings are mixed on this hire: 
1.  I am glad Crowton is gone, it obviously did not work with Miles and Crowton.
2.  The job he did at Louisville was abysmal. Everything about the offense became terrible. If you look up the decline you will be shocked.
I found this article on a Louisville page and it summarizes my thoughts.
Seriously, The Hat, The Krag and Ron Cooper on the same staff? LSU has been pushing it with the football gods for the past few years, now they're just blatantly taunting them.

I am sorry, I could not be more positive on the hire.
Here is what was in the media guide when he went to Louisville
Known as one of the best offensive minds in the country, Kragthorpe's teams have scored 30 or more points 29 times, 40 points on 10 occasions and 50 points three times. His 2006 squad was second in Conference USA in total offense and scoring. In 2005, Kragthorpe guided Tulsa to its third winning season in four years, going 8-5 and advancing to the Armed Forces Bowl before falling to Utah, 25-13.

That is funny, he is reported running a pro set offense.

But I cannot find the specifics from the internet.
