Kansas Jayhawks coach Les Miles, who announced on Oct. 8 that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, will not travel with the team to West Virginia for Saturday's game, it was announced Friday.
Miles, 66, said he was cleared to travel, but "after much consideration and several in-depth conversations with the medical team, our coaching staff, and Kansas Athletics administration," he made the decision not to make the trip.
Joshua Eargle will serve as the Jayhawks' interim coach against the Mountaineers.
Miles, who continued to handle his head-coaching responsibilities remotely while isolating at home, said his 10-day quarantine ended Friday morning. The university said Miles experienced only minor symptoms during that time.
"There is too much still unknown about this virus for me to feel 100% confident that I won't transmit it to someone who comes into close contact with me on the team charter, hotel or at the game Saturday," Miles said in his statement.
"As we continue to work our way through this pandemic, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our players, coaches and staff that make up this great team. As the head coach, it is up to me to set the right example for our student-athletes, and that is what I am doing with this decision by not traveling with the team."
Miles told his coaching staff and players of his decision Friday morning.
Eargle has previous head coaching experience at East Texas Baptist University. He's currently the Jayhawks' tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator.
