Ten years ago, Les Miles reached the peak of his profession by winning a national championship. Now the former LSU head coach is taking on a new challenge: acting.
After a tumultuous end to his tenure at LSU, 2017 was the first football season since 1979 in which Miles was not working as a football coach in some capacity. He took that time to polish his on-camera skills, both as a sports analyst and as an actor, something Miles says he's been interested in for a long time.
Recently, Miles invited Lauren Sisler and the AL.com crew to spend a day with him at his home in Baton Rouge as he worked on his acting chops, studying lines and performing scenes from some classic films including The Godfather, Silence of the Lambs, and Independence Day.
