We'll come in Thursday with the mindset that the deal's not done.

He ran very well, and I see no reason to make a change right now.

Grant's been with us, and we like Grant. He knows the system. He knows the guys. I think right now I don't want to bring too many foreign people into our team. It's a very close football team, and I want to keep it that way.
