After a good 2004 season with Oklahoma State, Les Miles officially joined LSU as their head coach for the 2005 season. To say that he hit the ground running is an understatement. He dominated from the start, but first let’s go back a bit.
Hurricane Katrina ravaged the gulf coast of Louisiana shortly before the 2005 college football season began, and having listened to and examined the character of Les Miles, I’m not sure there is a better person who could’ve led a program in the face of such destruction and devastation (to the area and the lives of much of the fan base).
