Haslam said in a phone call with 406mtsports.com on Monday evening that Monday's interview went "fine," and declined commenting on specific candidates.
Haslam said the job has garnered substantial interest, though.
"Whenever there's an open head coaching position, especially one that's high profile at a great place like the University of Montana, there's a lot of interest in it," Haslam said. "The challenge becomes sifting through all of that interest and trying to find the right person and trying to deal with the things that are unknown.
"I just try and process those and rely on the people I trust and will give good, sound advice and that's really where we're at right now in the process."
Haslam also declined to give a specific update as to where Montana is in the search process.
"We're still in that search process and so we're going to continue to search and to talk and to continue with different folks. The search is progressing and I want to make sure we're being thorough."
Haslam added: "The interview process is ongoing. ... I want to move along as quickly as possible. We do have that early signing day that's out there in December."

Exsaint, do you have any info that Ty Detmer is interviewing with Haslam or just wondering out loud?
YEP, originally I saw Kent as a yes-man. However, I have since changed my mind! He took the bull by the horns, putting the university's interest' front and center moving on from the Stitt era. Not to say Bob Stitt failed because he did not. But we , just weren't accomplishing our goals.. I believe coach Stitt gave all he had! And that's the most you can do! That's what makes this so difficult! Now if Kent does his home work he will see Bobby Hauck is a very good man and a great football coach! We need to finish this thing right and get Bobby Hauck on board as soon as possible with early signing only a matter of days from now we need to move and move quickly..We need to stay in house with the proven winner this time!!!Bobby Hauck.. It will be a big change but it will be for the better long term!!! Welcome home BH

Haslam seems to be a catch and release guy, he was with his last coach

When my x wife was quiet, which was a real freaking rarity might I add, I would ask her if everything was ok. She would say she was quote unquote....fine.

Yes. What about TDC? Griz softball? Haslam has been great. It’s not like Stitt went 0-11. Haslam has done a fine job. I think he’s just under pressure on this football thing.

Credibility is definitely on the line, and not just Haslam's.
