“There is no truth to the rumors of Mike Leach having any interest in the Houston job,” said Stevens about David Nuño's (pictured above) tweet.





Stevens' response was definitive, but it wasn't as entertaining as some of the tweets coming out of the CUB and WSU Pullman twitter accounts.





@WSUPullman we're adding a roller coaster on the roof, you heard it here first #wsurumors #jk

Unnamed #WSU sources also kinda confirm we're maybe interested in a zip line from Webster Tower to Cougar Country Drive-In. #WSURumors

Sources confirm that #Pullman is indeed the #Disneyland of #Washington. #WSURumors

There's a serious side to these things, though.





The first reaction for recruits, like fans, can often be to initially believe the reports -- even though all the ones last year, and the year before, turned out to be false.





Leach has been linked to a job opening every year since he's been in Pullman, by legitimate news organizations and your garden-variety internet posters. One day he's going to a school in Texas, the next to a school in Oklahoma or Tennessee. He was rumored by footballscoop.com after his first season in Pullman to have talked to North Carolina State.





Leach's WSU salary is $2.75 million per year. He just completed his third season in Pullman and has five years remaining on his contract that includes a rollover clause.
