Top 10 unforgettable Les Miles moments
The most unforgettable moments of Les Miles’ tenure as head coach of LSU:
- The crazy win over Auburn in 2007 . One of the finest endings to a football game you’ll ever see. Mike Patrick’s commentary adds to the lunacy, too.
- The National Championship Victory in 2007. They beat the snot out of Ohio State that day. A lot of NCAA coaches haven’t won titles, but college football – especially in Baton Rouge – would like to know what you’ve done for them lately.
- The ‘I’m not going to Michigan’ speech. He didn’t seem to want to go to Michigan. Especially before the SEC Championship Game in 2007. And we mean RIGHT BEFORE. LSU went onto win the game, but on the last day of the regular season, LSU lost to Arkansas in bizarre fashion. Talk about a bizarre coach, eh?
- LSU vs Florida in 2010. LSU trick play gives them extra life, a Terrence Tolliver TD with 11 second left gives the Bayou Bengals the win over Urban Meyer and the Gators in The Swamp. The best thing about the video is the tension on the LSU fans’ faces. Go on – try telling is us this ‘only a football game’.
- The ‘kiss on the mouth’ speech after the win against Ole Miss in 2012. It was awesome.
- The way that Les Miles held back his team before their entrance. It was one of the most underrated entrances in college football. Seriously.
- Carried off the field after the win over Texas A&M in 2015, showing Joe Alleva how much the players loved him. Now it would all change in 2016 when nothing changed offensively, but for that fleeting moment, there was hope….
- The 13-men-on-the-field miracle against Tennessee in 2010. Tennessee won the game on a botched snap, until it was ruled that there was 13 men on the field, giving a free snap to the Tigers. Guess who won……
- Magnolia Bowl craziness: Jeremy Hill – who shouldn’t have even been playing for LSU – scores the winning touchdown over Ole Miss with 15 seconds left to win 41-35 in one of the craziest games you’ll ever see. Hilariously, the 10-7 loss led to an Ole Miss girl getting very, very angry….
- His awesome clap. So good someone made a song about it.
