This Les Miles saga is going to get uglier before it gets better, it seems.
On Monday night, the University of Kansas announced that Miles and the school have “mutually agreed to part ways.”
“I am extremely disappointed for our university, fans and everyone involved with our football program,” Long said in a statement. “There is a lot of young talent on this football team, and I have no doubt we will identify the right individual to lead this program.”
Miles was placed on administrative leave on Friday after a USA TODAY Sports report broke that he had been alleged of inappropriate behavior toward females during his time at LSU to the point that he was banned from contacting them and, in 2013, then-LSU athletic director Joe Alleva came to the decision that he should be fired.
“This is certainly a difficult day for me and for my family,” Miles said in a statement on Monday. “I love this university and the young men in our football program. I have truly enjoyed being the head coach at KU and know that it is in a better place now than when I arrived.
“To our student-athletes, I want you to remember that you came to play for KU and earn a degree here. So, I implore you to stay and build on what we started and do all of the things we talked about doing together. There is a bright future for all of you and for KU Football.”
