Don't worry everyone....this is nowhere near the entire article....just a part of it

LSU
Head Coach: Les Miles
Former Coach: Nick Saban – Head coach of the Miami Dolphins

Bio: Following a methodical career path, Miles, 51, has ascended to the upper echelon of the college coaching profession. In just four years, he led Oklahoma State out of a funk, and gained national recognition for knocking off Oklahoma twice. He leaves Stillwater with a 28-21 record, and bowl appearances in three straight years. Sandwiched between stints at OSU, Miles coached tight ends for another Cowboy team, the Dallas Cowboys, from 1998-2000. By far, his longest stop in any one job was the eight years he spent at his alma mater, Michigan, from 1987-1994.

The Skinny: Nick Saban brought the Tigers to the pinnacle of the sport, and now it’s Miles’ task to keep them there. After working small wonders at a school that was the clear stepchild in its own state, it’ll be interesting to see what the coach can accomplish at an elite program. Retaining Jimbo Fisher and luring Bo Pelini out of Oklahoma, gives Miles a pair of top young coordinators with lots of big-game experience.

Putting Out the Welcome Mat: The local media. Miles doesn’t have any one distinguishing characteristic, but he is considered one of the warmer personalities in college coaching, something that will never be said about Saban.
