Below is the on-line want ad for the vacant head coaching position for the Duke University Blue Devils Football team [duke hr]. It is a bad year to be searching for a new coach. Michigan is still looking, and Arkansas just made a deal with a Saban-devil.
Celebrations like this won’t be happening very often.
Anyway, Duke’s going to get a scrub and they’re going to like it. Duke under-funds its football program. They spend all their cash on hoops and lacrosse.
Tennessee message boards are on fire with the rumor that OC David Cutcliffe is the front runner. Yes, David Cutcliffe of the Manning Brothers and the last coach to have a winning season at Ole Miss may take this job. Maybe he can hire Ed Orgeron to be his defensive coordinator.
I do know that JJ Reddick and Bobby Hurley better be ready to play some ball.
look at the chart how the Vols offense exploded after Cutcliffe went off to coach Ole Miss

The fact that Duke is actually entertaining the idea of bringing ex-UCLA coach Karl Dorrell in shows just how low their standards are. However, that could be the “quota” interview.
wow Brian, you never disappoint me with your class
Looks like they might not be sucking so bad from here on out…
Given they just plucked the Cut from Phat Phil…

What the hell is Fulmer going to do for an offense next year?
I still don’t see how you can fire a coach after improving that much from last year to this year. 1-11 is such a big improvement on 0-12…
Well the real sad thing is Ted Roof actually brought the Blue Devils down from 2-9 his first full year of coaching…
Good news, guys! I just submitted my application to become the next Tennessee OC. Chris Rix is gonna be my QB coach.
I endorse comment 5. I need to get my boys off of the street!

@2 Did you really just play the “class” card Eeyore? I take your post as a compliment. Based on your past rants and retorts class is a concept you can’t grasp much less comment on. Much like your Kendra=Tebow garbage, show me how I’ve lacked class in the past. You are one of those “monkey throwing crap at a wall” kind of guy aren’t you?
Bottom line is the “got to interview a minority candidate” is a joke of a policy. How humiliating is it for a man to walk into a job interview knowing he won’t get the job because the organization already has someone they prefer more, but the organization has to interview a minority so he is that token guy.
