Miles also served as athletic director from 1921 to 1935. As athletic director, he helped found the Southern Conference in 1921, introduced collegiate wrestling to the conference, and headed his alma mater's Athletic Association. He was the football coach in the 1905 and 1906 seasons (his overall record was 14-3-2). He served as graduate manager from 1908 to 1911. In addition, he was dean of the college from 1943 to 1949.

He was known as "Mr. VPI" for his numerous contributions to the college, which named a playing field, stadium, building, and professorship in his honor. The original football stadium, Miles Stadium, was razed in 1964 to make way for additional residence halls. It was replaced with a bigger stadium to the south, Lane Stadium.
