Les Miles won a national championship during his time as LSU’s head coach, following in the footsteps of Nick Saban, who also won a title with the Tigers.
Following Miles, coach Ed Orgeron also led the LSU squad to the promised land, claiming a championship back in 2019.
Now, Brian Kelly is tasked with trying to make it 4 LSU coaches in a row to win national titles, but his tenure got off to a rocky start in New Orleans on Sunday night, as the Tigers fell to Florida State when a would-be game-tying extra point was blocked with no time left on the clock.
Some of the crazy things that happened on Sunday night had fans and media members wondering if Miles was coaching the game in disguise. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
It was like Les Miles snuck in the building. It was like Mike Norvell snuck out with his job.

If Les Miles was still at LSU that extra point would’ve ricocheted into the kickers hands and he’d have run it in for the game-winning 2-pt conversion.

This is the most Les Miles of football games.

The Brian Kelly era begins with a very Les Miles ending

Am I the only one that feels like Les Miles is back at the helm for LSU? They have no passing game, and are trying to run pro style with a dual threat QB. It’s like they fired Orgeron to bring back Les.

Les Miles just broke out in hives

Can LSU find Les Miles and hire him for just these 14 seconds?

Is Brian Kelly going to take off a rubber mask and be Les Miles underneath

This is such a Les Miles ending to this #LSU game.

Brian Kelly is just an anagram for Les Miles.

Can Kelly turn things around in a hurry? The situation is already tense after only 1 game of his head coaching tenure with the Tigers.
