After being fired by LSU back in 2016, Les Miles has yet to land another head coaching job in college football.
He made the media rounds last season, broadcasting some games and sitting in some studios for big-time games, and this offseason, he’s become an actor.
However, a move to athletic administration may be in Miles’ future, and he told Matt Moscona on Tuesday that he’d consider being an AD in the future:
Many people have said Les Miles would be a good athletic director. Would he be interested in doing that? #LSU pic.twitter.com/vbDy6sXmyT

“I think the thing the athletic director needs to say is, ‘How can I help you?'” he said. “As a coach, I would understand those things that would help them most. Recruiting, the consistency of teaching, the way to market your school, your academic strengths and how to recruit best. I would love to help a coaching fraternity and community to be the best.”
Miles has plenty of options, so it’ll be interesting to see which he pursues next. One thing’s for sure, though — we haven’t heard the last of the Mad Hatter.
