BATON ROUGE, La. -- Whenever a coach spends a decade in one location, he is bound to leave behind a wealth of memories.
However, Les Miles isn’t any ordinary coach. His 11-plus seasons at LSU -- a tenure that ended on Sunday, following a controversial 18-13 loss to Auburn -- made him one of the most memorable coaches in SEC history.
With the "Mad Hatter" around, it was not just the way he consistently won ballgames, it was the flair he displayed while carrying out his job. Eating grass, coming up with unusual Les-isms, calling gutsy trick plays and clapping like a weirdo -- all of that made him as unique as the impressive 77-percent clip at which he won games since becoming LSU’s head coach in 2005.
