Les Miles wants to coach Saturday despite COVID-19 diagnosis

Jeff Long and the Kansas Athletic Department have created a long list of bad decisions and PR blunders in Long's short time in Lawrence. What may take place Saturday would not only be the latest, but quite possibly the most irresponsible and unforgivable.

Yesterday, Long announced that Les Miles, who was notified of a positive COVID-19 test just one week ago today, hopes to be on the sidelines in two days, coaching against West Virginia.

"Coach Miles is doing well. His symptoms have been minor. He’s upbeat, he’s strong, he’s ready to get back and we believe he has a chance to come back to be part of the game this weekend," Long said.
