LSU head coach Les Miles helped raise money for adoption awareness on Thursday the only way he knows how — by rappelling down the side of a 300-foot building. Miles, who is known for quirky antics like eating grass before games, got all strapped in with safety gear and participated in the “Over the Edge for Adoption Challenge” by scaling the side of the 24-story One American Place Building in downtown Baton Rouge.
As you can see from the gem above that Outkick the Coverage’s Clay Travis shared with us, the unique event led to arguably the best Les Miles photo that will ever be produced. Blue helmet? Check. Helmet cam? Check. Yellow harness? Check. Nads of steel? You bet. LSU Football was kind enough to share the following clip of Miles’ death-defying plunge:
And then there were these fantastic photos that show what it would look like if you were at your desk, minding your business when LSU’s head football coach went rappelling by your window.

If Bobby Valentine really wants a challenge the next time he gets the urge to rappel, he should call Miles. Dude looked like he was locked in.
