RIGHT WILL....DI and KD are both good friends of mine, as I count you and everybody on our football board. I think ALL OF US quite honestly are still a little on edge from the last two-three years. Lets face it, watching our team in conference games has been like a root canal. Change cannot happen soon enough for me guys. To quote the recently departed, "Lets run to it, not run from it." Lol, OFC

No game for us tomorrow feels weird.However my enthusiasm level for the program has waned in last few years. We couldnt even make any of the last ACC 7 losses exciting. Ga Tech the lone exception. That was gifted away like the Charlotte loss. OFC
Duke should have had the next coach lined up...but if you still don't know, take your time. I hope that Duke finds a mad scientist who puts 3 QBs in the backfield simultaneously. Imagine the amateur versions of Lamar Jackson, Taysom Hill and Michael Vick all in the same backfield prepared to run or pass
I also believe you are right, Will. I stupidly took the bait and responded. My bad. If I could erase my self-righteous post, I would. Unfortunately, however, I must, and do, own it. OFC
I don't know why I thought of this, but I seem to recall that, several years ago, when Duke was actually winning, there was concern that Cut would bolt for Tennessee when the Vols' head coaching job was open. Anyone else remember that? Any details?

Will he was asked to return twice actually...
Sources: Cutcliffe told Vols no interest in job
Duke coach David Cutcliffe has been contacted by Tennessee about its head-coaching vacancy but has informed the Vols that he plans to remain with the Blue Devils, sources told ESPN.

Nobody can ever accuse Cut of not being loyal, both to his players and to the school. However, his loyalty may well have been what led to his downfall, both at Duke and Ol’ Miss, when he wouldn’t replace underperforming assistant coaches.
I find it odd that there is complete silence regarding coaching interviews or candidates. What I find even more odd is that CBS' "Coaching Carousel" doesn't even list the Duke job! Akron's there, for Pete's sake, but not Duke. Are we really THAT irrelevant?
On the Insider, Conor O’Neil has information regarding who they’re interviewing and considering.
I did see that list. I guess I thought it was just one guy's opinion, not authoritative. Sorry. Has there been any follow-up? Have the interviews taken place? Any news? OFC
Joe Brady was just fired from the panthers. I’m sure he wants something more than the Blue Devils. But it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.
Kind of a poorly kept secret that he hates recruiting. Don't see him taking a college job unless he's had a revelation in that department.
Surely there has to be a coach out there for Duke. Maybe they are waiting for the season to conclude to see all the availables. Don't think we are going to get an already established who is succesful. May have to throw the dice and take a chance.
I suspect they’ve narrowed their search, may even be trying to pin down details of a contract.
Latest I heard today was Clemson OC Tony Elliot was still in the mix, being courted by UVA and Duke.
OFC
OFC
I’m not sure about Elliott. Great pedigree, but this year, with less talented players than in past years (but still probably better than we usually get), his offense struggled. Would he be as effective with lesser talent?
In addition to Elliott, Duke is also looking at Mike Elko, DC at Texas A&M. Seems too good to be true. OFC
What other "Power Five" conference teams have such a discrepancy between hoops success and fball failure? Kansas immediately comes to mind. Others? OFC
In case anyone missed it today, an ex Blue Devil has emerged as a top contender as our next head coach;

I watched this guy play LB for Spurrier at Duke. Excellent player, student of the game!

Tony Elliot (Clemson OC) still in mix for Duke as UVA hired Anthony Poindexter as its head coach. Hopefully @ConorONeill will have more for us!
OFC
OFC
That's the way it's trending, indeed. Poindexter to UVA, so Duke wouldn't lose him to a division rival.
I know Duke interviewed Elliott on Sunday at his home; I don't know that he's a lock at this point.

Just kidding
Non-coaching news, Mataeo Durant is officially headed to the NFL:
There is a rumor out there that Jason Garrett my be in the running for the Duke HC job. OFC
Best of luck, M. Sign with the Giants after they get riddance of Saywhat? Barkley. Stay healthy.
OFC
Considering the short life span of RB's in the NFL, this is a good move on Mateo's part.
Good picks DI. Put those in a football league, add Duke and we may be in a group we could compete. Heck we may have a chance vs UVA since Bronco and Cut are gone.
OFC
Final CBS Sportsline rankings: Duke 111th out of 130. Hell, even my brother-in-law is laughing, and he went to Rutgers!
OFC
OFC
Saw this. Heard he reached out to Duke since getting fired as Giants OC. I am not interested in Garrett.
OFC
111th, Isnt that pitiful? Yet the accolades still pour in for Cut on social media. OFC
Same here. He’s only interested because he can’t get another job in the NFL.
Yeah, I mean who, in their right mind, would want a former NFL head coach and NFL offensive coordinator to come to Duke? We can do SO much better! OFC
