The Les Miles era has come to an end.

Miles’ 12th season in Baton Rouge will be his last, sources confirmed with the Geaux247 staff. LSU has parted ways with Miles after a 2-2 start to the 2016 season with losses to Wisconsin and Auburn and a narrow win over Mississippi State.

The move comes the season after he narrowly escaped the year with his job, stumbling to a 1-3 finish last November with losses to Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas. A win in the 2015 season finale against Texas A&M spared Miles his job then, but he would only last five more games before the administration and the 12th-year head coach went their separate ways.

Miles finished his LSU career with a 114-34 record, which was highlighted by a BCS National Championship in 2007. The Tigers made it back to the national title game in 2011 after a 13-0 regular season, but then fell flat in a loss to Alabama. Miles was named the AP National Coach of the Year for LSU’s finish to the regular season. He captured two SEC Championships during his 12 seasons at LSU, winning the conference in 2007 and 2011.

Since the 2011 national championship game loss, LSU has gone backwards after an impressive first seven seasons for Miles. Since 2011, the Tigers are just 15-12 against SEC West teams, including an 0-4 mark against Alabama.

With 114 career victories, Miles finished his time in Baton Rouge as the second-winningest coach in LSU history. Charlie McClendon finished with 137 wins in 18 seasons as LSU’s head coach, and Miles fell just short of tying McClendon’s record for SEC regular season wins, with McClendon finishing with 65 conference wins and Miles finishing with 64 conference wins. Miles was also the longest-tenured coach in the SEC heading into the 2016 season.

Since he took over for Nick Saban in 2005 as the 32nd head coach in program history, Miles guided the Tigers to five top 10 finishes in the polls, with three finishes coming in the top five. The Tigers averaged 10 wins during his 11 full seasons with the team, and with 114 victories since 2005, Miles has helped steer LSU to more victories than any other SEC team during that timeframe.

The Tigers have also been perennial powerhouses on the recruiting trail during Miles’ 12 seasons in Baton Rouge, including back-to-back-to-back top five classes over the past three seasons.
