Kansas has parted ways with head coach Les Miles following a report by LSU detailing allegations of inappropriate behavior during his time as that school’s head coach. Miles was first placed on administrative leave by Kansas, but now he’s done with the announcement coming on Monday night.
Mike DeBord will be the interim head coach until the school finds a permanent replacement for Miles.
The University of Kansas and Les Miles have mutually agreed to part ways effective immediately.

This was supposed to be the job that resurrected Miles’ career.
At LSU, Miles went 114-34 with a national championship in 2007 and another trip to the national title game in 2011, losing to Alabama but finishing second in both polls.
LSU was okay in the four years after the loss to the Tide, but he went 37-14 during the span as the team became an also-ran in the SEC West. He was fired after a 2-2 starting 2016 – helped by a last second controversial loss to Auburn – and that was it.
Kansas hired him in 2019, but he went just 3-18 in his two seasons and 1-16 in the Big 12. Last year’s team was outscored 414-142 with only one game – a 16-13 loss to Texas Tech – decided by fewer than 15 points.
The 2019 team shocked Boston College on the road and beat Texas Tech 37-34, but closed out the season with a four-game losing streak by a combined score of 171-60.
And now Kansas has to find a head coach to try turning this around in a hurry.
The Jayhawks haven’t won more than three games in a season since 2009, and they haven’t had a winning season since 2008.

At the very least, it should be in the Big 12 Championship game every season in an okay-not-amazing conference. The school and football program are bound by nothing, they have all the resources, the right recruiting base, and no real excuse to not at least be a bigger overall player.
However, even with a minor miracle to get by Texas Tech, and a few too many tight fights, the Longhorns only had three losses, and they were all close. They lost by three to TCU, lost on a late field goal against Iowa State, and lost in a crazy firefight to Oklahoma. Texas went 7-3, blew out Colorado in the Alamo Bowl, and … fired Tom Herman.
Herman went 32-18 in his four years with no Big 12 Championships and just one conference title appearance, but he won all four of his bowl appearances.
He’s out, and Steve Sarkisian is in.

The current Alabama offensive coordinator has taking the Tide attack to another level, helped make it all explode even after losing star WR Jaylen Waddle, and he’s got the seal of approval from Nick Saban as one of his top assistants ever.
He struggled at Washington – earning the moniker Seven Win Sark after going 34-29 in five years – he never went better than 5-4 in his time in Seattle – and went 9-4 in one year at USC before off-the-field and personal issues led to his dismissal.
He revived his career as a high-end offensive coordinator, and now it’s his job to bring that offensive magic from Alabama to Texas, start beating Oklahoma, start winning Big 12 Championships, and get the program back to being among the elite of the elite.
