Following LSU’s 25-23 loss to Ole Miss on Saturday in which Tigers quarterback Jordan Jefferson spiked the ball with :01 left remaining, Les Miles told the media that he didn’t know who instructed his signal caller to “clock” the ball.
Apparently Miles is either a liar or doesn’t have a real good memory, because it was him (thanks to SPORTSbyBROOKS.com for the video link):
This is damning evidence for Miles on several levels. Not only did he lie about what happened, but he also completely threw Jefferson under the bus by telling the media he didn’t know who told him to spike the ball.
Miles should have owned up to the mistake (maybe he thought there was more time on the clock when he was doing the gesture?) afterwards and took his medicine then. Now he’s going to feel the wrath of not only lying about the situation, but he also stands to lose some credibility with his players and the program.
