Early on the Morning After Leading LSU to the 2007 BCS National Championship, Coach Les Miles Spoke Passionately About the Unique Nature of the Fighting Tigers Early on the morning after leading LSU to the 2007 BCS National Championship, coach Les Miles spoke passionately about the unique nature of the Fighting Tigers. "They understand what being pinned down means," said Miles, who saw his team on four occasions erase fourth-quarter deficits to earn victories during its 12-2 season. "They understand what it takes to come back and fight and overcome hurdles.” When top-ranked LSU lost its ’07 regular-season finale to Arkansas, it appeared the Tigers’ chances for a national title had been extinguished. Though disappointed, LSU quickly turned its attention to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, where the Tigers – playing without starting quarterback Matt Flynn and suffering from a rash of injuries – overcame a fourth-quarter Tennessee lead to post a 21-14 victory over the Vols. Ecstatic about winning LSU’s third conference title this decade, yet frustrated about apparently falling short of a BCS title game berth, the Tigers flew home to Baton Rouge expecting to receive a Sugar Bowl invitation. However, losses that evening by Missouri and West Virginia gave LSU – which ascended to No. 2 in the BCS rankings – the cherished opportunity to meet No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. Before a raucous crowd of 79,651 in the Louisiana Superdome, the Tigers overcame an early 10-0 Ohio State lead with a 31-0 barrage in a 24-minute stretch to storm past the Buckeyes, 38-24. LSU, which had won its first BCS title in 2003, became the first two-time national champion in the 10-season BCS era. Miles, who owns a magnificent 34-6 record in three seasons at LSU, identified the Tigers’ unyielding spirit as the characteristic that defined his squad. “There may be more talented teams,” Miles said. “But I can promise you this: this, by far and away, is the finest football team this year." One Down, One to Go LSU coach Les Miles and All-America defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey hoist the SEC Championship trophy after the Tigers’ 21-14 win over Tennessee at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The next day, the Tigers watch the BCS Selection Show and learn they will play Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. Let’s Talk Glenn Dorsey, the 2007 recipient of the Outland, Lott, Nagurski and Lombardi Awards, speaks to the media in the Louisiana Superdome two days prior to the Tigers’ matchup with Ohio State. Defensive back Jai Eugene (4) provides additional entertainment during Media Day activities. Digging Deep Members of the LSU squad help to construct two new baseball fields at the Rosenwald Boys and Girls Club in New Orleans one day prior to the National Championship Game. Mascots Mike the Tiger and Brutus the Buckeye also participate in the project, which brings new life to a playground that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Championship Moments Featured are images capturing the essence of a remarkable year as LSU became the first school to claim two national championships in the BCS era, which began with the 1998 season. Title Tour Les Miles displays the BCS Coaches’ Trophy from the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans after leading LSU to a 38-24 victory over Ohio State in the National Championship Game. Miles also paid a postgame visit to ESPN’s GameDay set in the Superdome, and participated in a press conference the next morning at the Marriott Convention Center. High Profile The 2007 National Championship flag is raised above the North end of Tiger Stadium on Jan. 19, 2008, as thousands of LSU fans braved frigid conditions to honor the Fighting Tigers. The national championship aftermath also includes a ceremony with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal in Baton Rouge and Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans featuring LSU players and coaches as special guests. Les Miles participates in the filming of an ESPN SportsCenter commercial and the design of the Tigers’ 18-wheel equipment truck is updated to include LSU’s 2007 title next to its 2003 and 1958 national crowns. “It's good to welcome you back.Proud you're here. Nothing like being called, ‘National Champs.’ LSU has the honor of being the first school to win two BCS titles. This year there is no split.” - President George W. Bush • April 7, 2008 Hail to the Tigers LSU’s tour of the nation’s capital features visits to several landmarks, including the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Pentagon, and the Tomb of the The National Champions arrived in Washington, D.C. on April 7, 2008, to meet with President George W.

His second year with the Tigers has been another year full of milestones and firsts as he's guided the Tigers to a 10-2 overall mark and a berth in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl is a first in school history and it also represents the third time this decade that the Tigers will play in the Sugar Bowl. In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons and with 21 victories in his first 25 games as the school's head coach, his win total matches Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span.

Miles, who learned the coaching trade from some of the best, including Bo Schembechler at Michigan and Bill McCartney at Colorado, brings to Baton Rouge a contagious enthusiasm and a passionate spirit for the game that has already grabbed the attention of his players. Considered a family man with strong values, Miles also brings a philosophy that focuses on his players hav- ing success in all areas of life.
