Les Miles might be headed back to the sideline soon.

The former Oklahoma State and LSU football coach is finalizing a deal with Kansas to try to turn around the school’s struggling football program, according to Sports Illustrated. 

Miles was fired from LSU four games into the 2016-17 season — his 12th with the program. He compiled a 114-34 record during his time with the Tigers and led the team to a national championship in 2007. 

Miles, 65, has spent 16 seasons as a head coach and boasts a 142-55 record. 

The Jayhawks, meanwhile, haven’t had a winning season since 2008 and are just 6-40 over the past four seasons. Head coach David Beaty, who has been with Kansas since 2015, was informed earlier this month that he would be let go after the season. 

Miles' hiring could be announced as soon as this weekend, according to the SI report.
