Recently, the University of Kansas parted ways with head football coach Les Miles, after allegations of mis-conduct at LSU. Kansas was 3-18 during Miles tenure.
Here is a look at the Kansas Jayhawks football program since 2008 (the first year that I collected all the variables needed for the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model). This time period spans the last two seasons under head coach Mark Mangino (2008-2009), head coach Turner Gill (2010-2011), head coach Charlie Weis (2012-2014), head coach David Beaty (2015-2018), and the two seasons under Les Miles (2019-2020). After the figure below is a more detailed look at the Kansas Jayhawks football program during head coach Miles' tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com. (The vertical school color bars represent seasons where head coaches changed).

2020
Kansas finished the regular season at 0-9, while playing against a "tougher" SOS, meaning that Kansas' SOS was between one and two standard deviations below the "league" average SOS. The Jayhawks' worst
loss of the season
was to #97 ranked Baylor (14-47). Kansas was the #127 ranked team overall (the LEAST productive team), with the #113 ranked
offense and the #125 ranked defense using the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model from the data provided from www.cfbstats.com.
