Miles began his coaching career as a
graduate assistant at Indiana State (1987),
New Mexico (1988-89) and Oklahoma
(1990). While at New Mexico, one of his
mentors was Marvin Lewis, now the head
coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Miles moved to an assistant coaching
position at Northern Illinois for four
seasons, working with receivers (1991-93)
and then defensive backs (1994). Miles
then headed west for a two-year stint at
Hawai’i, where he coached wide receivers
(1995) and defensive backs (1996).
As wide receivers coach at Fresno
State from 1997-99, Miles helped the
Bulldogs to a share of the 1999 Mountain
West Conference title and a berth in the
Las Vegas Bowl. He also recruited and
coached future NFL standout Bernard
Berrian.
Miles, 49, is a native of Terre Haute,
Ind., and a 1987 graduate of Indiana
State with a degree in criminology. He
was a wide receiver for the Sycamores
from 1982-86, playing on the 1983 and
1984 squads that each won nine games
and advanced to the FCS playoffs. The
1984 Sycamores were ranked No. 1 in the
nation for much of the season, and that
team was inducted into the Indiana State
University Hall of Fame in 2002.
He is married to the former Bridget
Hogan, and the couple has three
daughters, Kaylee, Anna, and Charlie
Elizabeth, and one son, Noah Michael.
