Of the college football head coaches currently unemployed, Les Miles has a resume few can match.

During his 16-year head coaching career, Miles has accrued a 141-55 record. This includes two conference titles, three division titles, a Coach of the Year Award, and one National Title (2007). He won 77-percent of his games in Baton Rouge, and produced 71 NFL Draft picks.

When LSU decided to part ways midseason, the 62-year-old instantly became a hot commodity.

Miles recently spoke to Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated. It was intimated that Miles has been vigorously studying game film for hours — particularly when it comes to Baylor, Tulsa, and Western Michigan. Miles has also been evaluating up-and-comers as it pertains to assembling a potential staff.

He has gotten flack in the past for a run-based, antiquated offensive scheme. It appears as if Miles understands the importance of evolving offensively:

“We can be gun run and throw 50-pecernt or more of the time. I can be very comfortable with a Cam Newton-style of player at quarterback. Or we can have a guy more comfortable back in the pocket. The reason we’ve had longevity is that we’ve had the ability to evolve and we will always evolve.”

The proverbial fire fueling Miles doesn’t appear to be burning out anytime soon. He’s set goals for himself, and has a clear picture of what he wants in a next job. Despite his age, Miles also sees himself coaching for quite a while longer:

“I have 10 or 12 years left in me. There’s plenty of energy in this body. I’m not a guy who lends himself to excesses, and I have great health. Let’s go find us a place where the school wants to invest and win. And I say, ‘Let’s go!’ I have enjoyed the time. I think I’m a better football coach today than I was the Sunday after Auburn. I have a want to win, win a conference championship and have the opportunity to play for a national championship still in me. I’m looking for a group of guys that want to scrap for victory, and an athletic director and president who see this is a guy with experience on a college campus. Let’s go see if we can win a championship.”
