Les Miles was fired by LSU in part because his offenses failed to score enough points.

He doesn't want the same thing to happen at Kansas.

So midway through an ugly first season with the Jayhawks, one marked by vast improvement on defense but more problems on offense, Miles announced Sunday that he had fired coordinator Les Koenning.

Brent Dearmon was promoted from his role as offensive consultant to take his place.

''This was a difficult decision, but it is in the best interest of our football program both now and in the future,'' Miles said. ''There is still a lot of football left to play this season and I want to put our players in the best position to be successful, which is why I am making the change now.''

The Jayhawks, who fell to 2-4 and 0-3 in the Big 12 with a 45-20 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, are averaging just over 22 points per game - last in their conference by a wide margin.

They have next week off before visiting Texas on Oct. 19.

The 60-year-old Koenning was hired by Miles after spending last season as the running backs coach at Southern Miss. He also had been offensive coordinator at Duke, Alabama, Texas A&M, Mississippi State and South Alabama, among his many travels, and even served a stint with the Miami Dolphins.

Go Gophers!!
 

Might be the right call but not sure who Les thinks he can bring in.
 

He promoted Brent Dearman who starred and later coached at Bethel.

Add to the list right behind Trestman and ahead of Dungy for future HC speculation! :)

Not the Minnesota Bethel. He played and coached at the Tennessee Bethel.

There is a former OC from Rutgers currently working at VA Tech who would almost certainly take the job. [emoji3]

Well if that's the case, good luck to Brent in ever getting a job in this town.

Is there a shortage of up and coming coaches looking to turn down 500k+ per year?
