Lsu Football Head Coach Head Coach INTRO THIS IS LSU TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY LSU Les Miles LSU FOOTBALL HEAD COACH It was nothing short of remarkable what LSU coach Les Miles accom- plished during his inaugural season with the Tigers in 2005. Consider that Miles led the Tigers to only the third 11-win season in school history, to a top five national ranking and a berth in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game despite numerous distractions that covered most of the months of September and October. Then, with starting quarterback JaMarcus Russell out with an injury, Miles, along with backup quarterback Matt Flynn, guided the Tigers to the most impressive bowl win in school history, a 40-3 thrashing of ninth- ranked Miami in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The win over the Hurricanes in the Peach Bowl capped a season that saw the Tigers post an 11-2 overall mark and finish ranked No. 5 in the final USA Today/Coaches Poll and No. 6 in the Associated Press poll. 94 2006 LSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE Head Coach INTRO THIS IS LSU TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY LSU These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his team carrying the banner for a state in need of a diversion.

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.
