For years, Les Miles, a former American football coach, sparked a relationship affair with Gary Moeller’s wife, Ann, contributing to Gary’s downfall at Michigan.
Gary was a respected coach at the University of Michigan but resigned after a public incident in 1995.
Highlights
- Les Miles returned to the University of Michigan as an offensive line coach in 1987 and continued to work with head coach Gary Moeller.
- Gary was forced to resign in 1995 for reasons unrelated to football, but fans speculated that he had found out about his wife’s affairs with Les.
- Les married Kathy Miles in 1993, and they have four children: Kathryn, Macy, Manny, and Benjamin.
Les Miles began playing football at Elyria High School, where he earned all-state honors as a lineman. Later, he committed to the University of Michigan and played under head coach Bo Schembechler.
He joined Bo’s staff as a graduate assistant in 1980 but left it in 1982 to coach the offensive line at the University of Colorado.
Les was the head coach at Oklahoma State in 2001, and the Associated Press named him the Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year in 2002.
Similarly, on January 2, 2005, he was named the 32nd head football coach of Louisiana State University (LSU) and won the 2005 SEC Western Division title.
He signed a five-year contract as a head coach with the University of Kansas on November 18, 2018.
Les Miles’ Alleged Affair With Gary Moeller’s Wife, Ann
Les Miles returned to Michigan in 1987 and continued as offensive line coach under new head coach Gary Moeller. However, Gary was forced to resign in 1995 for non-football reasons.
It was speculated that Les had an affair with Ann, and their scandal led to Gary’s resignation in 1995. Conversely, they have never confirmed the alleged rumors.
Gary was arrested on April 28 for disorderly conduct at the now-defunct Excalibur restaurant in Southfield, Michigan. In May 1995, he resigned to save face publicly.
Netizens claimed that Gary found out about his wife’s affair with Les and caused problems in his marriage. He started drinking, which led to an unfortunate night at Excalibur restaurant.
He and Ann were married for over six decades. Sadly, Gary lost his life at the age of 81 on July 11, 2022.
His wife, Ann, son, Andy, and three daughters, Susan, Amy, and Molly, survive him.

Lloyd Carr disliked Les due to his affair with Gary’s wife. Some even claimed Les was a philanderer and eventually nicknamed them “Loose Morals.”
Moreover, LSU requested a law firm to investigate his relationship with female students after many accusations in 2013.
Taylor Porter’s investigation determined that his behavior was inappropriate, even though the law firm did not find that he had sexual relationships with any of the women.
Les Miles Is Married With Four Children
Les Miles met Kathy at the University of Michigan and dated for five years before exchanging vows in 1993.
Kathy was a Michigan women’s basketball team member who decided to join the coaching staff. Since marriage, she has become a supportive pillar to the head coach.
