Matthew Zemek wrote an interesting column after the LSU-Arkansas game. He absolutely roasted Miles.

A few money quotes:
"He’s (Miles) a fine human being—which should count for more in the long run than one’s performance when wearing the headsets on the sideline—but for the record, this loss to Houston Nutt’s Hogs proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Les Miles is certifiably loony as a play caller."
and
"The aftermath of LSU’s narrow win over Auburn demonstrated, once again, that human beings generally lack the courage to criticize victors, and the same courage to praise losers. Les Miles’ lucky escape in that two-Tiger tilt shielded him from an onslaught of outrage, even though the facts of the situation revealed—for all the world to see—that Miles just doesn’t have a clue when it comes to late-game strategy."
and
"Miles handles many dimensions of a coach’s complete job description with admirable poise and professionalism; but when the matter of late-game management is up for discussion, the LSU coach is Les than merely mediocre—he’s absolutely horrible."
To pile on, I thought I'd throw in this YouTube clip from the Tennessee game in 2005. LSU intercepts a pass late in the game, and Miles immediately tries to get the refs attention trying to call timeout. Apparently Miles thought the clock would continue to run. At the end of the clip, you can see an assistant coach try to physical restrain Les to prevent him from calling an uncessary timeout.
