Duke's leading coach candidate
Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe emerged Thursday as the leading candidate to get Duke's football head coaching job. Cutcliffe interviewed with Duke officials on Wednesday and remained in contact with them on Thursday. Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell had been popular with Duke's search committee and athletics director Joe Alleva after meetings on Monday, but his candidacy appeared to stall. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also reported Thursday that Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Hue Jackson was in Durham on Thursday to interview for the job. Jackson, who molded receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh as the receivers coach at Cincinnati, also interviewed for the Duke job in 2003.

Hasn't Duke figured out yet that if you want to get to the top in college football you have to rendezvous at midnight under a bridge with your coaching candidates?
This whole "let's do it in a rational, methodical manner" junk will get them nowhere!!!

Cutliffe is very good offensive coordinator who worked well with Ainge the last few years. You figure Duke will have a QB-oriented offense. This would be a good move for the Devils.

I guess it's a good move, but I would have preferred if Duke went after Dorrell.

Duke needs to hire a graduate assistant to coach their football team. I'm sure with all of those "Sociology" majors running around someone would take it for an exchange in tuition.

ESPN is stating that Cutcliffe accepted the job. If that is true, then congrats to him.
