The University of Kansas has parted ways with football coach Les Miles after a Title IX review at LSU – where he previously coached at – he allegedly attempted to sexualize students hired to help with recruiting and crossed boundaries with female staff members."I am extremely disappointed for our university, fans and everyone involved with our football program. There is a lot of young talent on this football team, and I have no doubt we will identify the right individual to lead this program. We will begin the search for a new head coach immediately with an outside firm to assist in this process. We need to win football games, and that is exactly what we’re going to do," KU Athletic Director Jeff Long said in a statement Monday night."This is certainly a difficult day for me and for my family. I love this university and the young men in our football program. I have truly enjoyed being the head coach at KU and know that it is in a better place now than when I arrived. To our student-athletes, I want you to remember that you came to play for KU and earn a degree here. So, I implore you to stay and build on what we started and do all of the things we talked about doing together. There is a bright future for all of you and for KU Football," Miles said in a statement.According to published reports, Miles was due $8 million on his contractLong hired Miles to take over the Jayhawks’ struggling program in November 2018, about two years after LSU fired Miles four games into the 2016 season. Miles signed a five-year contract with KU that was to keep him in charge in Lawrence through the 2023 season.Miles had a 3-18 record in Lawrence, including an 0-9 2020 season. He won only one Big 12 Conference game.The scathing report from a law firm LSU hired to investigate how sexual assault reporting is handled on campus revealed Miles’ behavior was so problematic during his tenure at the school that his then-boss, LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva, recommended his firing in 2013. The report LSU commissioned on Miles and others in the athletic department included recommendations that he undergo counseling and cease direct contact with student workers. After the full report was released on Friday, LSU suspended two high-ranking employees in its athletic department for failing to forward claims of sexual assault and violence against student-athletes. Miles coached LSU from 2005 to 2016, winning the 2007 national title.[ READ COMPLETE REPORT ]The report detailed allegations from student workers, including one who said Miles met up with a student worker who he had reached out to on Facebook, drove around with her, suggested they go to a hotel or his condo and kissed her. Miles denied kissing the student or suggesting they go to a hotel or condo. The report also states that athletic department employees who supervise student employees said Miles made it clear “he wanted student employees to have a certain ‘look’ (attractive, blond, fit).” He made them feel students who didn’t meet that criteria, “should be given fewer hours or terminated," the report states.The investigation, conducted by Taylor Porter law firm, was launched to address a complaint from a student worker that Miles “made her feel uncomfortable enough to quit her part-time position.” USA TODAY successfully sued for the public release of the document as part of its continuing investigation into LSU's mishandling of sexual misconduct, dating violence and other Title IX cases. The report also notes another student worker had previously reported concerns about her interactions with the coach in the summer of 2012. Miles is not mentioned by name in the heavily redacted portion of the report that details the allegations. A letter to Miles' attorneys included with the report identifies him and said "LSU has concluded that Miles engaged in behavior which showed poor judgment." One of the students said Miles contacted her on Facebook. After talking in his office in March 2013, he asked her to put her number in his phone “but to use an alias” and said he would do the same, the report states. They met off campus, got in his car and he “suggested that they go to a hotel together and mentioned his condo as another meeting place,” the student alleged. Miles also told the student worker he was attracted to her and, after parking behind the athletic complex, “kissed her twice,” according to the report. Miles denied suggesting they meet at a motel or hotel and “strongly denies” kissing her, the report states. Miles did acknowledge reaching out to the student on Facebook and texting with her but as a mentor, which he said “was an outgrowth of her interest in sports marketing and that nothing inappropriate was discussed,” the report states. “He contends that they discussed her career, his recent trip and says that she asked him about his interests and marriage,” Miles contended, according to the report. The other student worker said she was uncomfortable when she babysat for Miles’ children, and he was there instead and asked her to come with them to a movie. The probe identified at least two other student workers or former students Miles had direct contact with, often through his personal phone. The recommendation barring him from direct communication included social media messaging, texting and phone calls to student employees, and requiring him to use only his LSU-issued cellphone to communicate with employees. The counseling the firm recommended was to “help him understand how to establish appropriate boundaries with students and student employees,” the report states. The law firm that conducted the investigation stated in its report that it wasn’t able to determine whether an allegation that Miles kissed a student was true. The woman alleges that Miles kissed her twice while they were driving in his car.Attorneys for Miles issued the following statement regarding the report: "Release of the Taylor Porter Report should put an end to the baseless, inaccurate media reports that Coach Les Miles engaged in an inappropriate touching of an Athletic Department student volunteer eight years ago. "As the Report concludes, the allegation that Coach Miles attempted to kiss the woman was supported by no evidence and warranted no discipline: “We do not believe under existing law and the terms of the contract there is cause to discipline and/or terminate” Coach Miles. Coach Miles denied then, as he denies now, that any such conduct occurred."The Report also disclosed that a second woman made a similar allegation. The Report found that accuser was totally unreliable and her claim totally unsupported. Not coincidentally, the two accusers were friends. "Coach Miles learned an unfortunate lesson eight years ago: his naturally open and trusting nature exposes him to false claims by people with a different agenda than his. Coach Miles has always been supportive and friendly with his entire staff – men and women. "For this, he has been punished this week by unfair speculation and media attacks. Fortunately for those with whom he works, Coach Miles remains dedicated to his role as mentor and role model."Another part of the report revealed Alleva recommended Miles be fired for cause in 2013, following LSU’s internal investigation into allegations. Alleva pointed to Miles’ “inappropriate behavior” and him putting LSU and the football program “at great risk.”
