re: Even "Elite" Coaches Can Make Game Management Look Hard

While I agree every coach makes mistakes, I'd bet no other coach making $4M plus is making "Clock it" issues like the Ole Miss game. Any coach can find a way to lose. Saban lost to UAB and ULM. Even got dominated by Utah. But repeating mistakes is just awful.

The Iowa game situation was weird. I think Iowa was the one who was confused with the clock running after the sack. It confused the one defensive player LSU needed back deep. That was on the player.

If there is one thing I have gained an appreciation for over all these years its end of half/end of game clock management. Sometimes, things just happen. You think you have more time than you do and you lose control of the clock, or you get punchy and leave way too much time on the clock, or you intend to use your time-outs and just don't. Every coach at some point screws up with the clock.
Les just makes his clock issues more dramatic.

I don't understand why, but Les Miles has definitely taken much more criticism than he deserves for his game management. Many coaches have skated by with no criticism at all.
The "clock it" play being a key example. IMO the last pass by Jefferson was suppose to be the last play of the game and go in the endzone. No plans were made for it not to be and probably a decent assumption they wouldn't have enough time to run another play after a very deep pass down field.

That was 2009. Name one other time in Miles tenure here he made a clock it mistake.
