How many more games do we win during the Les Miles Era with a 2:00 warning?

We know that Les was always horrible with clock management. He would look confused and stand there with his finger in his ear as time ran out. A 2:00 minute warning might have benefited a coach like him.

I say we win the 2009 Ole Miss time clock debacle for sure and possibly the 2006 Auburn ref-gate game when we came up just short at the end (winning that game could have ended up resulting in a natty for us because we would have had a rematch with Florida in the SEC Championship Game).

Any others I’m missing?

I’ll never forget in his first game at ASU him running to call a timeout right after we intercepted the ball.

We probably lose more because many times we were grinding down the clock, punting late to the other team and butt puckering for a final defensive stand.

You'll never forget when that happened in the ASU game?

Seems very odd.

i remember him calling a timeout after a punt. I forget the specific game but remember it clear as day.

The guy was an imbecile.

I remember him after we scored a TD in the 4th on the Addai run screaming, "what's the score!?!?!"

No way the officials were letting us win that game. Even with a 2 minute warning.

I know as LsU fans, we like to complain that the refs are always cheating us. Well that AU 2006 game is the one where I actually believe it was true.

That’s a good one. But if we a 2 minute warning and we would have won, he wouldn’t have been fired and the domino effect that led to 2019 would not have happened

Nah. FriscoTiger will NEVER forget that happening in the ASU game. Clearly, our memories are wrong.

I love reading about people remembering things while they bash one of the most successful coaches LSU has ever had.

Never underestimate Les' ability to frick things up.

Probably... few more than the 10 win average, for what 11 seasons? Get off Les' arse.

ok, but that’s with at least 13 games per season. And at least 3 of the wins each season were cupcakes.

Relative to the elite talent Miles brought in, he underachieved here.
