Apparently told us, through a proxy, that he has absolutely no interest in leaving Wisconsin and to not waste our time.

Which I can appreciate.

agreed. That's how it should be done, by both sides. (and usually is).

I'd like to see them test the water with Phil Parker. We're talking throw the bank at him scenario to get him to leave Iowa laterally. But it would be a good hire.

If you want to go to a "Nielsen clone", i.e. promoting a DL coach, then hit up Charlie Partridge (Pitt). He'd jump at the chance. Maybe even his DC, Randy Bates. But I'd rather put Partridge with a good LB coach and Raymond and see what the trio can do.
