Ever here Talkins ever question his time management or coaching decisions in the press conference? Nope just a bunch of I love my players, Coaches are Awesome, blah,blah,blah..
Les Miles was a fool today (much like Talkins is everyday) but he has the guts to put the blame on himself for the loss...
I'd take Miles as coach over Talkins anyday..

Here's where it got sketchy for LSU. Kentrell Lockett forced Jefferson to throw his first pass away, then the quarterback was sacked by Emmanuel Stephens, a play that pushed the Tigers all the way back to the Ole Miss 41.
"We talked about runs," Miles said. "I felt like the quarterback could manage the situation. That was my mistake."
Miles said he suggested to assistant coaches that they call a run play at that point, but allowed a pass play to be signaled in. Jefferson completed a 7-yard pass to Stevan Ridley with 26 seconds left and Miles said he thought he heard timeout being called.
But the referees never got the message and 17 seconds ticked off the clock before coaches realized what was happening, leaving LSU with fourth and 26 at the Ole Miss 48 with 9 seconds left.
"The clock ran down, timeouts were being called verbally and I didn't relate that to the official apparently and that was the mistake," Miles said.
"I can only tell you that the management at the back end of the game was the issue," ... "It's my fault that we didn't finish first in that game"
I'd take Miles as coach over Talkins anyday..
