He said everything went well, went fine. No offer was made.

They met with John (Wednesday), but other than that, there's no changes. He didn't say a whole lot about (the interview). We talked some about it, but it's just he and I talking (about it).

None of this was a reaction to the situation with the University of Mississippi. Our meeting with him as the result of it being the end of the season.

Well, I've always been of the mindset never to hold anybody back if they have the opportunity. But we will try to keep him.

I knew [in 2002] that he's good. He had the pedigree. He had the personality. I've watched him mature now for four years - mature as a person, mature as a coach. I never wavered. He was 10-18 [last year], but I saw what he was doing.

He told me he was looking for the right fit for him.
