Athletic director Warren Koegel announced the decision Friday, saying that “during this time of transition the expectations of our department remain the same.”
Crowe, a former Arkansas head coach, led the Gamecocks to an 87-57 record during 13 seasons, including his third Ohio Valley Conference title in 2011.
He led the FCS program to the playoffs three times but didn’t win a postseason game. The Gamecocks upset Mississippi two years ago but finished 6-5 this season.
He has the second-most wins in Jacksonville State history. Don Salls had 95 over 18 seasons.
Crowe said he felt like the program had progressed during his tenure but “there is still a lot left to be done.”
