The interview process is complete. We had some highly qualified candidates. We hope to make an announcement within the week.

We feel whoever we hire will be a good fit for our program. They will have a chance to put their own stamp on the program without the pressure of the playoffs.

We want to make sure the candidate we choose has the level of integrity we feel necessary to carry on the pride and tradition that has been established.

He will be a volunteer helper. What we're trying to do is focus on the positives. He brings a lot to the table.

You're stepping into a school with a lot of history, tradition and now publicity. It's going to take a special person to step into that job and handle the unique pressure that comes with it.

They gave us absolutely no indication what they were thinking. Hopefully a quick decision is a good decision.

He brings a lot of experience. He's efficient and runs a track meet as good as anyone in the area.

At this point, I see no reason to believe why he wouldn't be.

I thought it went fine. The panel asked hard questions. We were prepared for that. We seemed to be able to answer all the questions they had.
