Three years before Louisiana State University fired him, head football coach Les Miles weathered an internal investigation into allegations he sexually harassed and made sexist comments about student workers, USA TODAY has learned.
At the time of the 2013 investigation, done quietly by an outside law firm, Miles was one of the nation’s most successful and beloved coaches in college football, one of an exclusive club to win a national championship. Though his actions were deemed to be improper, Miles appears to have faced no public repercussions from LSU.
It wasn’t until 2016, after LSU got off to a 2-2 start, that the school fired him.
