FWIW, he was not signaling clocking it. People claiming that are spreading untrue rumors.

It has already been de-bunked. He was signaling to the referee that Tolliver was down before the fumble.

I'm upset with Miles right now, but nonetheless people should not spread untrue stuff. there's plenty of actual coaching mistakes from the Ole Miss game to pick apart rather than come up with stuff that did not happen.

Sorry - that's BS and it has not been debunked. I've watched the video several times and if you try to read that into it, fine, but you surely can read the spike motion into it too. He was cusping his hand like he would be holding a football when he was making his arm movement down; if he was saying someone was down, he'd point his fingers out.

Saying point blank that thhis "is spreading rumors" is wrong.

Why is this even necessary? The referee had already made the call. Why add to the confusion? Oh I forgot, he was confused as well.

but you have to admit it looked alot like a "clock it" motion. and to to a 19 year old kid, running down the field with one second to go in a road SEC game... what would you have thought, esp if your coach hadn't given you any instructions if the hail mary pass was complete.... even if he was signaling that TO was down, the whole sequence was a collection of FAILS by a man paid 4 mil a year not to FAIL...

Thanks JP, one of the few reasonable posts since last night. Why people keep talking about this "Miles Myth" beats me instead of what was the really major bungaloo; not calling run plays when on the 31 yard line. That was what so infuriated me. I saw the video and never thought Miles was telling JJ to spike it. If you notice he was pointing, not making a football throwing downward motion. I thought he was pointing as if to say "Get your ignorant butt under center and run a play, NOW." But that's just me. I had no idea that TT had fumbled the ball.
