Goff would take over the position after former Athletic Director Jeff Long resigned. After sexual misconduct allegations from a previous job surfaced against KU Head Football Coach Les Miles and he parted ways with KU, Long said he and Chancellor Douglas Girod met on March 9 and agreed it was in the best interest of the student-athletes and program for Long to step down as well.
