FAYETTEVILLE — Mike Leach and Kylin Hill couldn’t make it work between them.
Mississippi State’s first-year coach known for his passing offense and the Bulldogs’ All-SEC senior running back have parted ways.
AL.com was the first outlet to break the news that Hill was opting out of the rest of the season after four games to get ready for the NFL Draft.
Leach confirmed the news — in his own odd way — Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference.
Instead of clearly stating Hill no longer is on the team, Leach made it sound like he gets his news about a star player from reading it on the internet.
