SaysWho? Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Les Miles out as Kansas Jayhawks' head football coach WWW.ESPN.COM Les Miles is out at Kansas four days after a report was made public that accused him of inappropriate behavior toward female students while he coached at LSU. Quote On Thursday, a report released on behalf of LSU showed that a 2013 internal investigation at the school accused Miles of inappropriate behavior toward female students, including allegations he contacted some via Facebook and text, met them off campus alone and kissed at least one of them. The report did not find he had sexual relationships with any of the women, and Miles strongly denied kissing the student, saying he didn't do anything wrong and that he was mentoring young women at the university. According to a copy of Miles' employment contract with Kansas, the university would have "just cause" to end its agreement with Miles if the coach had "discreditable conduct that is inconsistent with the professional standards expected of a head coach of a collegiate sports team." Another clause in the contract that defines "just cause" is "participation in by head coach of any act, situation, or occurrence, or any conduct, which in Athletics of KU's judgment brings Head Coach and/or KU into public disrepute, embarrassment, contempt, or ridicule ... " It's unclear whether these clauses were triggered; terms of the separation agreement are expected to be released in coming days, according to the university's statement. Miles had three years left on a five-year contract he signed with Kansas in November 2018. Quote On Friday, a second report, this one conducted by the law firm Husch Blackwell, detailed systemic failures by LSU to appropriately report incidents of athletic-related sexual misconduct and abuse. Part of that report showed that former LSU athletic director Joe Alleva recommended in 2013 that Miles be fired as coach because of the accusations of inappropriate behavior with female students.
