Taking a break from coaching his team and reassuring future recruits, Duke football coach David Cutcliffe on Tuesday killed speculation that he might be interested in replacing former boss Phillip Fulmer at Tennessee. Cutcliffe ran the Volunteer offense under Fulmer during two stints totaling 19 seasons.

Why would he want to go to a second rate SEC school when he can stay at an up and coming ACC school? Duh! Of course he is going to stay!

He's staying. Better to keep a rising stock than to jump ship to a sinking stock.

I am sure he has a loyalty to Fulmer and why would he go back in all the turmoil when he has something good going at Duke...

UT doesn't want him. they are looking for a clean break from fulmer and he knows that. muschamp, lane kiffen, brian kelly, skip holtz, and the head coach from minnisota are on the short list of potential fulmer replacements. right now it seems as though fans want muschamp as he is an SEC guy but Ut would be happy with with any of the guys i mentioned, with maybe an exception to holtz. not b/c he is bad but knoxville hates his dad. also any talk of the boise state head coach is crazy. he is a scientoligist and UT would be pretty wary of having a potential tom cruise on thier hands.

They do want him cause they understand that any success that fulmer had was due to cutcliffe and they wanna make it right by keeping the person that is responsible for their only national championship. Fulmer was just a stick figure at UT and he doesnt know anything about football.
We want cutcliffe back.

Tennessee is a career. Fulmer had 17 years there, and what could the Duke football coach really make in terms of a salary. The only successful coach at Duke was Steve Spurrier, and he left for his alma mater, Florida. He became a legend again at Florida (after winning the heisman in the 60s).

Do you think anyone will become a coaching legend at Duke.....for football???

Tennessee has a stadium that seats 100,000 for the SEC!

How Bad is the job at UT when he would rather stay at Duke...

This case is just like Arkansas, no good coach wants a job where the boosters control the program and think they run it...
