May have been a good thing in the long run. Win that game and Duke is 4-8 and had they held on vs GT they could be 5-7 and Cutcliffe probably doesn't get fired. I think the Charlotte loss was the signal to Ms King to think about the future. And thats still considering the dropped TD and the secondary's complete inability to guard anyone at all.
I never wanted Healey at all, but I remember reading that he would have been a great candidate for Duke should they move on from Cutcliffe. I just never saw it, they still finished 5-7 and the loss said more about Duke than it did about Charlotte being an up and coming team.
