I fail to see why we are continuing to debate this when he won the game.
Let's pretend that Hester got stuffed and didn't convert on one of those, and LSU loses. Now it becomes a bad call, according to your rules that win = good call. So basically the only thing that decides if a call is correct or not correct is if you get a W out of it?
How can the same exact call be good in one case and bad in another, depending on an outcome?

Let's say Weis' call against Navy worked.
His quarterback actually somehow managed to convert that 4th down, and eventually, Ntre Ame won that game.
..
Would ANYONE still think it was a good call, aside from delusional Ntre Ame fans?
no..because it would still be a ridiculously bad call, which just happened to work out well due to pure luck

I'm not going to try and debate the right call/dumb call issue, mainly b/c it's really hard to defend, lol. But they DID win, and at the end of the day, that's ALL that matters.
I will point out that in the Auburn game the receiver actually caught the ball w/ 4 seconds left on the clock. And the fact that they actually lined up on the ball w/ around 15-16 seconds left on the clock, it just seemed to take a lot longer than it should have to get the ball snapped. I don't believe it was a dumb decision to go for the endzone in that situation, one shot for the win, if it doesn't work you let your kicker try to win it for you. It just looked a lot worse after the 3 seconds ticked off, after the receiver had caught it.
Florida game.......well, that's a different story. Like I said, that's a pretty tough one to defend, LOL.
Here's a copy & paste job from a Tiger website on some stats for Miles career at LSU:
32-5 = The Hat's Overall Record at LSU
19-4 = The Hat's SEC regular season record
19-0 = The hat's record against unranked teams
13-5 = The Hat's record against Top 25 teams
11-4 = The Hat's record against Top 15 teams
6-3 = The Hat's record against Top 10 teams
6-1 = The Hat's record at home against Top 20 teams
2-0 = The Hat's Bowl Record
19-1 = The Hat's Home record
11-0 = The Hat's record in November
13-1 = The Hat's record against the SEC West
11-3 = The Hat's road record
2 SEC West Titles
Won the SEC West outright for the first time in LSU history
Only LSU coach to ever post 3 straight 10 win seasons

LOL.....you're probably right. I wish him the best, he's done well while he was here. Can't fault a guy for wanting to go home.
By the way, Congrats on the big win this weekend Buckeye fans!!! |

Can you imagine what Scott Boras would try to do with that information? |

Not in a discussion of "was that the right call.".

He'd probably try to get him into the Chancellor's position
