Jeff Long is out as Kansas’ athletic director, sources told @Stadium. On Monday, football coach Les Miles & KU “mutually agreed” to part ways. Long hired Miles in 2018

That seems kind of ridiculous because he couldn't have known about Les' past but I guess we shouldn't be surprised. These days everything is about optics.

Cue the Bob Mann tweet about a school already firing two employees over this while LSU hasn’t fired one.

I suspect he DID know about Miles' past (because Miles disclosed it during the interview process) but hired Miles anyway.

For those scoring at home, Jeff Long was also the AD at Arkansas when Bobby P was caught diddling a coed in the athletics department. The sanctimony he showed while that happened is making me LOVE this news.

She was, what, 25-28? And dude acted like Petrino was diddling kids, Penn State style.

Everyone wants female empowerment but we cant trust women who are of age to tell sketchy old men to go frick themselves? Or better yet, say, sure?

Weren't Long and Miles longtime buddies?
Didn't Long, as Ark. AD help facilitate Les' raise and extension while Les was still at LSU?
And Long hired Les for KU? was responsible for the background check?

I wonder how much of that buyout he paid to Miles that he did not have to is going to be backdoored to him?

Jeff Long is a buffoon. Kansas fans are probably happy he’s gone.

Side note: Did anyone else watch the ESPN series about Jeff Long hiring Miles and Miles’s first season at Kansas? I’m thinking that it might get pulled from the streaming library now

While this is likely largely a move to oust a total bust of a regime...Long absolutely could have known this about Les via minor digging.

Crazy how Long was once viewed as one of the best ADs in the country at Arkansas

Huh.

KU appears to be doing more about Les Miles’s alleged behavior at LSU than LSU is doing or did about Les Miles’s behavior at LSU.

KU is currently awaiting the decision of the Independent Accountability Resolution Process. If the penalties are severe enough, then Self will be done.
