The firing for cause is assuming the KU didnt already know about this incident. If thats the case then the AD should be fired for ineptitude.
I would put my money down that they did know about it and this is a saving face measure. Regardless this should be a very expensive separation.

And the real winners in a situation like this one
The lawyers.
No matter what the final resolution is the legal fees are piling up and will continue to do so.
Mutual parting has occurred
Les Miles will never coach again

CUD has to be breathing a big sigh of relief right now.
Who will coach there next?
Jim Leavitt???

Most of the rumored candidates are current G5 head coaches

Kansas coaching candidates: Lance Leipold, Jeff Monken among top options to replace Les Miles
Where will the Jayhawks turn with Miles out the door?

If you are a "hot" coaching prospect do you want to take the Kansas job. That program is such a dark hole that even if you do a great job you are very likely to end up leaving with a losing record and a stalled career.Most of the rumored candidates are current G5 head coaches

A young up and coming coach might be better of risking another year at the G5 level and waiting for a real stepping stone, not a block of ice.
None of the coaches on that list are terribly hot prospects and a chance to get the head gig at a G5 school is big even if it is KU. Go there and get them to bowl eligibility and that would likely open up other, bigger opportunities.
Understand what you are saying and that is how whoever takes the job has to think but getting Kansas to bowl eligibility is a tough task even if the coach does a great job.
You're right. An up and comer is much, much better off waiting for a good opportunity.
KU's best chance is with someone who has a perceived negative. It could be a real negative, like they were a scumbag in a prior job, but they've now "reformed." It could be someone that is "washed up." It could be someone who is simply "too old" for a better program to hire.
Someone like Sunny was for CSU. I don't have a **** load of names because I don't follow coaching quite closely enough, but KU's best options are going to be guys like Bohl at Wyo or Bob Stitt (where is he now anyway?).
Note: I'm not necessarily saying those are "good" options. I'm just saying that it's KU, and well, their best options aren't necessarily good options.
Jim Leavitt?
Guy has proven he can win and do it in less than ideal situations.
He has also proven to be a bit of a hothead fired from South Florida after hitting a player and lying about it. Been long enough to claim rehabilitation.
Has been a top assistant with excellent success at a number of major programs and shown he can recruit but has also been tough to work with.
He spent time at KSU so he is familiar with the region, desperately wants to get another head coach job and is older than most schools would be willing to look at.
Would he get them to a bowl before the probation started?
He could be a good option for them.
Again - I'll repeat: I'm not saying Leavitt is a "good option" in a general sense.
But....
It's KU.
Last call was 3 minutes ago, and the lights are about to come up.
Jeff Monken is a better, younger version of this person. Equally affordable.
That's leaving a lot of money on the table. What is Les' motivation to take this deal? Is it just to avoid KU showing dirt that they have on him? Is it just about getting that money now?
RG needs to hire KU's lawyers stat
With Long now gone, sounds like they are likely going to go the whole year with Interim Coach, hire an AD, then look at the post-2021 Season to make a hire. Hiring someone right now is not helpful to anyone or any program.
