Former LSU head coach Les Miles was set to be eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame in the upcoming years but following LSU’s self-imposed sanctions including 37 vacated wins from 2012 through 2015, that is no longer the case.
Vacating those 37 wins, however, now makes Miles ineligible for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Without those 37 wins, Miles does not meet the College Football Hall of Fame’s requirement of coaches winning at least 60% of their games. Miles now holds a career 108-73 record, a 59.8% winning percentage. In essence, making him two wins shy of being eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Miles coached the Tigers from 2005 through 2016, collecting a 114-34 record prior to the self-imposed sanctions. Miles led the Tigers to three SEC West division titles, a pair of SEC championships, and one national championship. Miles left Baton Rouge in September of 2016 after being fired by LSU following a 2-2 start to their season.
Miles would do television for two years before signing with the University of Kansas in November of 2018. He would last just a year and a half with the Jayhawks going a combined 3-18 while also allegations of inappropriate conduct surfaced from his time at LSU, forcing him out of Lawrence.
It’s unclear if Miles will ever return to the coaching world but if he doesn’t he leaves a legacy of success mixed with a fair amount of controversy.
