Two weeks after Jeff Long fired David Beaty as KU’s football coach, it appears the search for the Jayhawks’ next leader is over.
Les Miles is on his way to Lawrence and will be introduced Sunday as Kansas’ new coach, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellinger, who has covered Miles and his former employer, LSU.
On Thursday, LSU announced a $1.5 milliion buyout settlement with Miles that officially closed out his previous contract with the school.
Long has plenty of familiarity with Miles. The two worked together at Michigan from 1988-94 when Long was an administrator and Miles was an assistant coach.
