Cutcliffe volunteers to remain at Duke
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/15/2010 -
Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Cutcliffe has decided to remain the head
football coach at Duke after widespread speculation that he was a leading
candidate to fill the vacancy at Tennessee.
Cutcliffe, a former Tennessee offensive coordinator under Phillip Fulmer, has
spent the past two seasons at Duke and has guided the Blue Devils to a record
of 9-15. It's a stunning turnaround for a program that had won a total of 10
games in the previous eight seasons combined.
"After much thought and consideration, [Cutcliffe's wife] Karen and I reached
the decision that Duke is the place for our family," said Cutcliffe in a
statement released by the school. "We have both family members and lifetime
friends in the Knoxville community and share a deep respect for the University of Tennessee. Our ties to the school and the Eastern Tennessee area are
obvious. But before Tennessee's hiring process comes to a conclusion, I know
that Duke University is where we want to coach.
"I've said all along that what makes Duke so special is the people, and that
is the truth. We've received tremendous support from President Brodhead,
[athletic director] Kevin White and the rest of the school's administration
and are very grateful for their efforts. We have the best coaching staff in
the country, and are convinced that we will continue to build a successful
football program that both the Duke and Durham communities will be proud of."
The Blue Devils will return 41 lettermen and 17 starters from last year's team
that posted a record of 5-7 overall. It marked the school's highest win total
since 1994.
"David Cutcliffe informed us this morning that he intends to remain the Duke
football coach for a long time," said White. "Simply put, we could not be
happier or more excited about the future of the Blue Devil football program.
In just two years, David and his stellar coaching staff have made a
significant impact on the department, the university and the Durham community.
Together, we look forward to building on that great work for many years to
come. Under David's guidance and with the strong support of university
leadership, Duke is committed to building a football program consistent with
the standard of excellence exhibited throughout the entire institution."
Cutcliffe took over the moribund Duke program after two years as offensive
coordinator at Tennessee. It was his second stint with the Volunteers, having
previously coached in Knoxville from 1982-98.
The Alabama graduate left the Vols after the national championship season in
1998 to take the head coaching position at Ole Miss. He spent six years with
the Rebels, guiding them to a record of 44-29 with five bowl appearances.
