Les Miles' first signing day at Kansas demonstrates the tough road ahead of him

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Les Miles has been on the job at Kansas now for just over a month. He filled his coaching staff this week and secured 10 prospects in the early signing period to be pioneers at the outset of his attempt to rebuild the Jayhawks.

"I'm having as much fun as anybody should be allowed to have," the 65-year-old coach told ESPN.

For about 2½ days last month -- from a Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse as students seated around the basketball court chanted Miles' name to the Monday morning watercooler talk in the wake of his introduction -- the new coach and his program were hot.
