Former LSU head coach Les Miles has emerged as a frontrunner to fill the vacant position at Kansas, The Athletic's Bruce Feldman reported on Tuesday.
According to Feldman, Miles has picked up "a lot of momentum" as a potential candidate for Kansas' head coaching job after the Jayhawks announced David Beaty would not be retained on Sunday. Beaty has gone just 6–39 since taking over the position prior to the 2015 season. His record includes a 2–31 mark in Big 12 conference play.
Feldman reported on Sunday that Kansas had "legit interest" in Miles.
