Les Miles has had no shortage of career honors, and the new KU football coach received his latest of such over the weekend.

Miles was a member of the 11-person class that was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame at the Natchitoches Events Center.

Others to join the class included Peyton Manning, whose father, Archie, had already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, Max Fugler, a former All-American center who played for LSU in the 1950s and won a national championship, Marie Gagnard, "the first Louisiana product to become a professional tennis umpire" and work a Grand Slam final (U.S. Open women's final) per the Hall of Fame, and Danielle Scott, a two-time Olympic silver-medal winner and the first ever volleyball player inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

Miles, among plenty of others, spoke at the induction ceremony. He gave an impromptu clapping tutorial, poking fun at the way he claps using primarily his palms. He spoke about memorable games from his past and the importance of both family and football.

The following is a passage from the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame's release of the event:

But family was Miles’ cornerstone.

“When (then-LSU athletics director) Skip Bertman interviewed me, he asked me ‘Family or football,’ and I said both,” Miles said. “I will fight like hell to do both.

“You’ll get a great football coach, but I’m going to be a great father and husband. Skip told me this what you’re going to do, this is what you’ll get paid and this is how much success you’ll have – and he was right about all of it.”

Miles, of course, has been a head coach for nearly two decades at the collegiate level. At Oklahoma State, he took a program that went 4-7 in his first year and made bowl-game appearances in each of the following three seasons. At LSU, he lost no more than two games in each of his first three seasons, a mark that culminated in a National Championship victory in 2007.

The new KU football coach amassed a career record of 114-34 at LSU, winning right around 77 percent of his games. He won seven bowl games in his 11 full seasons at LSU. He was replaced in the middle of his 12th season with the program.

Manning, on the other hand, is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history. After a four-year career at Tennessee that saw him total 89 touchdowns to just 33 interceptions, Manning starred for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos over a 17-year NFL career.

The New Orleans, Louisiana-native retired having totaled 71,940 career yards and 539 touchdowns. Manning threw for a career-best 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns with the Denver Broncos in 2013. He also quarterbacked two Super Bowl victories, made 14 Pro Bowls and was a seven-time first-team All-Pro selection.
