Les Miles dressed as a cop for a movie cameo (Video)

There is only one college football coach who can match Jim Harbaugh in general strangeness, and that’s LSU’s Les Miles.

If Jim Harbaugh is the new weirdo on the college football coaching block, then Les Miles is the incumbent, sitting in the corner of the bar chewing on some nice Bremuda. Miles has had his fair share of atypical press conferences and cameos taking on his weird habits. Essentially, anything anyone says Les Miles has done, I will believe until proven otherwise. That’s why I’m very excited for independent film Camera Obscura, because it will feature Les Miles as a police officer.

Looking good, coach.

This isn’t Miles’s cinema debut. He played an Oklahoma State recruiter in a sports drama about De La Salle high school titled When The Game Stands Tall. Plenty of football stars have gone to go things other than football. John Wayne held a football scholarship at USC. Gerald Ford was a center at Michigan. George W. Bush was a cheerleader at Yale. If Les Miles wants to go into film after his coaching career is over, I say let him. He’ll have the southern charm of Matthew McConaughey with the southern credentials of Billy Bob Thornton.

It’s good that Les Miles has a backup plan, because the word on the street is that he was almost fired at LSU before the game against A&M. It was later rumored that Miles was coaching for his job, and that game would decide whether he was fired or remained. Unfortunately for the silver screen, Miles retains his job with LSU.
