Ten years ago, Les Miles reached the peak of his profession by winning a national championship. Now the former LSU head coach is taking on a new challenge: acting.

After a tumultuous end to his tenure at LSU, 2017 was the first football season since 1979 in which Miles was not working as a football coach in some capacity. He took that time to polish his on-camera skills, both as a sports analyst and as an actor, something Miles says he's been interested in for a long time.

Recently, Miles invited Lauren Sisler and the AL.com crew to spend a day with him at his home in Baton Rouge as he worked on his acting chops, studying lines and performing scenes from some classic films including The Godfather, Silence of the Lambs, and Independence Day.

Is it Hollywood or bust for Miles? The 64-year-old coach says he would like to continue coaching but wants to find the right fit at the right school.

"I enjoy the relationships of the young men and of the families that I've represented and coached," he said. "There's more to do. There's a championship out there that I haven't won yet."

In the meantime, Miles will continue to hone his craft as an actor. Will we see him on the gridiron or the silver screen first?
