Which Miles blunder is the most egregious?

1. Trying to call a timeout after an interception and having to be stopped by a grad assistant in Les' first game in Tiger Stadium. Timeout!!!

2. Calling for Jefferson to "clock it" in the 2009 Mississippi Meltdown. "clock it" And then lying about it. Lying

3. Shitting the bed at the end of the 2010 Tennessee game, turning a certain win into a loss and then being given a win. Thanks T-Bob

4. 1/9/12. The whole game.

Feel free to add any I may have left out.

The end of this game was terrible, but to say we were "given a win" is retarded. Tennessee had about 15 guys on the field for that last play. Thats illegal last time I checked the rule book. We scored on the next play. We were lucky to get a win, but nothing was "given" to us.

BTW, what exactly is the point of this thread? Just to bash Les Miles?

One of the worst coaching performances I have ever seen. Like Lane Kiffen bad.

Letting 30 seconds run off the clock was far more egregious and is the worst clock blunder since Chris Webber called TO.

Easily 4.

The hideousness of that game will forever haunt my dreams.

Not even debatable. We win this game the program is in an entire different direction, at the very least the outlook nationally and internally is completly different.

While all the ones you listed are well deserving of being the best or worst. I am going to go with QB development, offensive scheme, slow to act on improving the offense with a good oc, and wasting talent.

Don't forget about calling 3 straight passes in the Clemson game when we needed to run the clock out or at least make them use one of their 3 timeouts.

Not sure what Miles' most egregious blunder was but mine was definitely reading this post.

Your hero Saban had a pretty horrible clock management issue as bad or worse than the Ole Miss game at halftime of the SEC Championship game this year. Richt had one equally bad at the end of the SEC Championship.

We should never mention either of those though.

Instead lets blast our own program and coach for something that happened in 2009.

1/9/12 will never die. That coaching performance is inexcusable and should never be defended.

After that, I'd say the 2009 Ole Miss ending. My head almost exploded after that.

When I saw Miles on the field in his 1st game in TS wearing a Brittney Spears headset along with this:

I knew exactly what we were dealing with and it has rung true ever since.
