LSU fans, who aren’t known for their mild temperaments, went into total meltdown after Saturday’s bizarre 25-23 loss at Ole Miss. A lot of them weren’t enamored with Les Miles’ coaching ability before Saturday, and LSU’s final possession gave them even more ammunition.

On TigerDroppings.com, one fan posed an interesting question on the message board. If you could ask Miles one question, what would it be? The first response came from a poster named Northwestern Tiger.

“When are you leaving?”

And that was before the Ole Miss game began. LSU’s last drive provided plenty more questions. We’ll ignore for a second that coming out of a timeout, LSU coaches called the Jordan Jefferson-to-Stevan Ridley pass that lost seven yards. That was an execution issue. What makes no sense is why LSU coaches allowed so much time to drain off the clock before they called their final timeout.
