There was a LOT more to CLM's firing than going 9-3. Here's a post from a couple days ago. This is a small part of the myriad of reasons he is gone.

When you cost your players games because you can't figure out a game clock it doesn't need to happen EVERY GAME to be a huge detriment.

Did a quick google search for "les miles clock management":

A few Results - the article titles and snippets that can be seen from the search are listed:

"Les Miles Epic Fail - LSU vs. Ole Miss 11/21/09 (HQ) - YouTube"

Auburn game - "As same mistakes continue, Les Miles might be out of time at LSU - After this latest clock management blunder, Les Miles' clock might have finally run out, too. I know it was chaotic, but LSU wasted way too much time. Should've been sitting in formation, waiting to snap it…"

"Les Miles Blows Another Game with Poor Coaching and Clock - Penn State vs. LSU in the Florida Citrus Bowl, Joe Paterno vs. Les Miles, Class vs. Crazy. In that game, Les Miles shows why it's obvious he flunked Clock Management 101 in coach's school. Can at least one assistant coach please sit down and help Les Miles understand this area of coaching?"

"Coach Les Miles says LSU Tigers clock management gaffe addressed" - Then LSU runs out of time in his last loss at LSU.

The guy just can't look at a clock and figure out what all the numbers mean. Weird that something that most people take for granted can be so difficult for others.
