Coaching Career
After two seasons in which he compiled an 11-8-1 record, Biles was offered a defensive assistant's role with the University of Notre Dame under head coach Ara Parseghian, who had been at the helm during Biles career at Miami. However, Biles turned the offer down on January 4, 1964, citing his desire to remain as a head coach. He remained at the school for another five seasons, having his best success with the 1965 unit that finished 8-2, and compiled an overall record of 39-28-3.
On January 27, 1969, Biles resigned his position at Xavier to become an assistant coach with the NFL's New Orleans Saints. Working for two seasons under head coach Tom Fears, Biles lost his job soon after Fears was dismissed in November 1970, but found work as a scout for the New York Jets the following year.
After one season in that capacity, Biles was selected as the Jets' defensive backs coach on June 24, 1972. He spent the next two seasons under the leadership of head coach Weeb Ewbank, but when he retired following the 1973 NFL season, Biles again lost his job.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
