Four times in the Tigers had to come from behind in the fourth quarter to win games, including its victory over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game.
LSU scored a touchdown with a second left to beat Auburn at home and then followed that by scoring two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the Alabama game to record a comeback win over the Crimson Tide.
Against top ranked Florida, LSU scored with just over a minute left, capping a drive that saw the Tigers convert on a pair of fourth-down attempts, to beat the defending national champions, , in Tiger Stadium.
When it mattered most, playing without an injured Flynn, the Tigers overcame the adversity that followed in the wake of week-long media speculation leading up to the SEC Championship Game about Miles perhaps leaving LSU to take the head coaching position at Michigan. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another overall record, culminating with a dismantling of 11th-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. In , Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back wins seasons, something that he added to with another plus win season in He became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in to beat two top ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a win over No.
Even though the Tigers had to go on the road to face four top ranked teams in , year two under Miles seemed somewhat ordinary compared to what the Tigers had to endure during his first year in Baton Rouge. To appreciate just how adverse the conditions that Miles and the Tigers had to overcome in , you have to go back to late August and Hurricane Katrina, the first of two storms to devastate Louisiana during the fall.
However, Miles was able to successfully manage a delicate situation, one that saw his team and coaching staff volunteer time to those in need, while still attempting to focus on football for at least two hours a day.
After a week of trying to minimize the distractions for a football team that had their apartments and dorm rooms filled with displaced family members and friends due to the storm, it appeared that the Tigers would finally get to play a home game, this time against 15th-ranked Arizona State. However, just as the Tigers began to prepare for the Sun Devils and the season opener in Tiger Stadium, it was learned that the devastation to New Orleans was much greater than originally thought.
With many in Louisiana under the distress of Hurricane Katrina, the Tigers were going to have to take to the desert to face a powerful offense in their first game of the season.
These were certainly trying times for everyone in the state of Louisiana, but even more so for a football coach who now had his team carrying the banner for a state in need of a diversion. LSU football had become a release for those consumed with the hurricane. LSU even re-stated its team goals, putting playing for the state of Louisiana at the top of the list.
Now with the Arizona State game behind them, it looked as if things for the LSU football team would gradually get back to normal as the Tigers had a week off before facing Tennessee in Tiger Stadium on Sept.
Then, the unthinkable happened. Another storm, this one named Rita, hit southwest Louisiana, causing severe damage to more homes, leaving thousands without electricity and displacing even more Louisiana natives. Instead of playing Tennessee on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, the Tigers would now be forced to face the Volunteers on a Monday night. An emotionally drained LSU team saw a halftime lead evaporate into a overtime loss to the Vols. There was no coaching handbook for Miles to refer to when it came to dealing with the hurricanes and preparing a team for competition during extreme adverse conditions.
Miles was on his own, forced to navigate his LSU team through a treacherous stretch of games, while also being sympathetic to those still affected by the natural disasters. With just five days between the Tennessee loss and the Mississippi State game, Miles and the Tigers were obviously dealt an unfair hand, however, he asked his team to respond and they did.
The Mississippi State contest was the starting point for a stretch of games for the Tigers that saw LSU win nine contests in nine straight weeks of play. During what would be consecutive weeks of play, the Tigers posted a win over Florida, along with overtime victories against Auburn and Alabama. In all, the Tigers beat four teams ranked among the top 15 in the nation, then a school record for regular season victories over ranked opponents.
After straight weeks of play during the regular season, the Tigers fashioned a conference mark and earned a berth in the SEC title game. The win gave the Tigers 11 victories for the year, making Miles the winningest first-year coach in school history.
Miles honed his head coaching skills at Oklahoma State where he posted a mark in four years with the Cowboys. Miles led the Cowboys to three-straight bowl appearances, an accomplishment Oklahoma State had not achieved since Jimmy Johnson started a string of three-straight post-season games beginning in As head coach at Oklahoma State, he built a consistent winner out of a program that had recorded only one winning season since , and had posted a record of in the three years prior to his arrival at OSU.
After going in his first year as head coach in , he took the Cowboys to consecutive winning marks of in , in and in Miles led Oklahoma State to a four-year record of for a winning percentage of The Cowboys, who averaged
