Cut on Tennessee

[jimsumner]

David Cutcliffe began his weekly press conference today by stating that he had no interest in the Tennessee job and was at Duke for the long haul.

He also stated that he had been calling Duke recruits and assuring them of his committment to Duke.

Hopefully, this would put the speculation to rest.

Good for Cut...i'm glad cut said that...it will get all speculation about him taking the Tennessee job off and he can focus on the important thing...coaching duke football which is is obviously quite passionate about.

Lets go Duke Football...i have faith that we can win a couple more games this season!

"I'm at Duke, staying at Duke, and that's not even a thought process," (http://www.wralsportsfan.com/duke/story/3890548/)Cutcliffe said of the Volunteers.

Nice to hear, and what I expected. Now let's focus on State!

I just had one of my patients, who's a Duke fan, ask me about losing Cutcliffe to Tennessee. That's the second one today. No one's said word one about the presidential election today, but I've had 2 patients ask about Cut and a drug rep (Carolina grad) give me crap about the 'Holes being unanimous pre-season number 1. That's a snapshot of priorities and life in North Carolina. I love living here!

[Huh?]

Coach Cut, I love you man.

I'm very happy and excited to hear this. Was hoping he would say this and felt that based on his talking from the start about commitment that he'd be here for a few years at least.

Amen. I was beginning to think this would turn into another situation like we had with Coach G.

Coach Cutcliffe is a man of his word and is refreshing in this day and age. He and his assistants are a credit to Duke. Let's all turn out in blue and thank them for their loyalty............this week............and every week!!!!

It is refreshing to hear that we have recruits others are trying to steal.

Its awesome that he came right out and said it. I'm sure rumors will persist but for the most part he's addressed them definitively and put the issue to rest.
