I was not surprised to hear Thursday night that Washington State coach Mike Leach had interviewed for a job over a lunch meeting in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon.
Football coaches shop all the time. It’s part of the business, plus, Leach’s long-term future in Pullman has been a question mark ever since the man who hired him, Bill Moos, left WSU to become Nebraska’s athletic director on Oct. 15.
But I was stunned by the news of who Leach had reportedly interviewed with: Tennessee.
Whichever way you cut this one, the slipper doesn’t seem to fit.
