Les Miles to be honored in La. Sports Hall of Fame
BATON ROUGE - He may not have a job at LSU anymore, but Louisiana is still showing love to championship-winning football coach Les Miles.
On Wednesday, LSU announced Miles would be among the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame's 2019 class. Miles won 77 percent of his games and a national championship in 11 seasons with the Tigers.
He was fired in 2016 and replaced by then-interim head coach Ed Orgeron, who has since taken over the position in full.
Other new inductees include five-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning, USA Olympic volleyball standout Danielle Scott-Arruda, former SU baseball coach Roger Cador and another LSU Football great, Max Fugler.
