Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel added that Leach’s name is “picking up steam,” while former Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin is “losing steam” after he emerged as a candidate for the gig.Â
Rumors
“Yeah I do,†Leach said. “I’m strictly focused on the Washington State Cougars. I have a limited knowledge of the internet, which is pretty clear, I don’t even turn anything on other than my phone, when it gets stuck, my kids turn it on.
Leach added, “You guys are on your own with that. I can’t speak to rumors I don’t know anything about. I’m focused on Washington State, excited about that, we’re going to a great bowl and I for one couldn’t be happier.â€
Well, so much for that!
An announcement is expected as early as Friday.
