Now in his sixth year with the Tigers, Miles has guided the Tigers to unmatched success - both on and off the field - in his first five years at the school, winning more games than any other coach in LSU history during a 5-year span and claiming both the BCS National Championship and the Southeastern Conference title in 2007. </p>
Under Miles, the Tigers have also posted at least 11 victories in a season three times and they've finished ranked among the top five in the nation three-straight years (2005, '06, and'07), a first at LSU. </p>
With an astonishing 51-15 record in his first five years with the Tigers, Miles has climbed to the third-winningest coach in school history, while his four bowl victories rank second among all LSU head coaches. </p>
In addition to his 51 victories, some other notable accomplishments during his first five years with the Tigers include: only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in same season - and he's done it twice; only first-year coach in SEC history to lead team to league's title game; nine wins over coaches who have won national titles; and the only coach in LSU history to lead Tigers to three-straight top-five final rankings.
This was all before this seasons disapointing 11 wins.</p>
