PULLMAN – Nearly a month later, Mike Leach’s name is still floating through the college football coaching rumor mill.

The Washington State coach has interviewed for the vacant coaching position at Mississippi State, according to a report from radio host Paul Finebaum Tuesday afternoon.

Bo Bounds of the “Out of Bounds” radio show told the popular SEC reporter on the “Paul Finebaum Show” that Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen traveled to Key West, Florida, to interview Leach for the job.

Leach has a vacation home in Florida and often travels to the Florida Keys during the Cougars’ offseason.
