Days after Les Miles' departure, Kansas AD Jeff Long steps down

The overhaul at Kansas continues.

Two days after the school moved on from head football coach Les Miles, athletic director Jeff Long has stepped down. In a statement, Long said he decided to step down Wednesday after meeting with KU chancellor Douglas Girod on Tuesday night.

Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported that the athletics staff was informed of Long's departure during a Wednesday afternoon meeting. The news was announced to the public shortly thereafter.

As part of a separation agreement, Jeff Long will be paid his usual monthly salary through the end of March.
