Not in Hall of Fame

We have some College Football Hall of Fame drama to discuss.

For a coach to make the hall, he has to have a winning percentage of .600.  Les Miles, who coached LSU from 2005 to 2016, is suing LSU, stating that the school’s decision to vacate 37 wins from 2012-15 removed from Hall of Fame consideration.  The vacated wins dropped his winning percentage to .597.

The vacated wins occurred when an NCAA investigation uncovered a Level I recruiting violation.  Specifically, in 2012, an LSU representative paid a prospective athlete’s father $180,150 over a five-year period. 

Miles, who led LSU to a National Championship in 2007, was also the AP Coach of the Year in 2011.  He also coached Oklahoma State (2001-04) and Kansas (2019-20).
