Since joining LSU in 2005, Miles has taken the Tigers to the top of the college football world, winning the 2007 BCS National Championship and leading his teams to four top 10 finishes. His historically dominant defense this year looks to win another BCS National Championship in New Orleans, the site of their last title. Miles holds the distinction of being the only coach in SEC history to win at least 11 games in four out of his first six years in the league. One of Les Miles’ most impressive qualities is the time he spends giving back to others, which includes an annual event that raises close to $100,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network.
