Oh wait...there's nothing to see here. This is 247 throwing gas on a fire that never even started.
Two big quotes..
media speculation has turned the heat up on Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who could opt to retire by season’s end, according to a report from Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.
Which leads to the mentioned report, which is days old. (And has been quoted here, I think by myself even.)
Duke
David Cutcliffe did so much to pull the Duke program out of decades of irrelevance. And now the program is slipping back, as the Blue Devils (3-6) have a 10-game conference losing streak and face a likely three-year streak without a bowl appearance. New athletic director Nina King already has found a successor for Mike Krzyzewski and faces another potential opening in her first year on the job. Cutcliffe, 67, is beloved and did great work rejuvenating Duke. But retirement looms as a possibility here, as there’s no resounding argument to keep him outside of sentimentality.
It's 247 trying to get clicks by not doing any reporting themselves.
Edit...Acy noticed what I did.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
