Les Miles could be heading to Kansas.

There’s “a lot of momentum” for Miles to become the next coach of the Jayhawks, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites an unidentified source.

Kansas, which is 3-6 record so far in 2018, fired coach David Beaty earlier this week. Beaty, however, will finish the season before vacating the job.

Beaty has a 6-39 record over three-plus seasons with the Jayhawks.

“My family and I would like to thank all of our KU football family and their families who have worked so hard and made so many sacrifices during our time here,” Beaty said in a statement Sunday. “Only they know the challenges we have faced and how far we have truly come in working to move this program forward.

“We will always cherish being a part of the great Jayhawk Nation.”
