I don't have Dennis Punzel's book in front of me so I may get a detail or two wrong, but when Wisconsin was looking to hire Sheffield, his interview with AD Barry Alvarez happened at Alvarez' house the night before Alvarez was leaving to go to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. After winning the Big Ten championship, UW football coach Brett Bielema had resigned to take another job, and Alvarez was going to be the acting head coach for the bowl game. As busy as he had to have been that week between Christmas and coaching the Rose Bowl, he took the time to conduct the interview. You are 100% correct. He did this after having already been turned down twice after making terrible offers to other candidates. This prompted him to up his approach considerably and he deserves credit for that. Yeah, it seems to have worked out for him. And us.

Roster page says: Remainder of staff to be announced.
So many options in her coaching network to bring in.

Does this deserve a separate thread? It's big news.
