Les Miles hasn’t yet found another coaching gig since his 11-year tenure with the LSU Tigers came to an end in the fall of 2016. The former head football coach has, however, landed a role in an upcoming indie film production entitled Angry Men.

The movie, according to its website, is about the 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster and a prescient NASA engineer, who tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent the doomed shuttle from taking off.

Miles doesn’t play that engineer, but he does play a NASA employee known as Nelson. The film’s website doesn’t describe Nelson’s character.

The film is currently being filmed in San Antonio, Texas, and is scheduled to be released midyear.

There's a bad joke here about the Challenger, Les Miles, and never touching down.

Someone make it.

A rocket scientist who worked on a craft which ended up an enormous fireball, no less.

When it counted most, it never made it past the half way point.

Les Miles,upon being cast in an upcoming NASA movie has been quoted as saying, "The appeal to act and perform for many fans to watch such a movie has been the challenge to uphold the skills required to do the best job of a true professional. NASA has been such an important force in word history that when all mankind around the world looks at the moon, one can say that the need of NASA has been warranted and thus achieved."

I like Les Miles. I still can't believe they fired the man.

I wonder if the shuttle does a toss/dive maneuver in the film.

I live in a NASA town and we don't take kindly to that joke.

As long as he can repeat the same line over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, he will be fine.
