David Cutcliffe says no to Tennessee (from Chris Low)

[SandoVOL]

You should easily find several who feel up to for the task.

give me 80 million and ill hire the best staff in america. 260 million left for the neyland facelift too

Several good options out there 😬

 

[volfannbama]

He is comfortable finishing his career in mediocrity...wanted him, but we don't need someone who is content with average

Lol, Cut is smart. When you are older your priorities change. Good for him. He has done an awesome job at Duke.

 

[Witch_Doctor]

Figured he wouldnt come here.

Time to focus on Brohm, Tee, Norvel, Mack Brown, Strong, Sumlin or God forbid Lane Kiffin.

Currie has really put us in a hole.

Witch Doctor say *cough cough Kiffin? lol. Witch Doctor chuckle a little. Witch Doctor also remember saying the media was going to rake us over the coals if this turned into a coaching "search". Witch Doctor been saving you a seat on the Lane train. Welcome aboard. lol

Mack brown??
Seriously?
Now i know youre not that bright

He’s almost 65 and he’s content where he is for cripe’s sake. Let the man retire the way he wants. Nothing average about that. He’s just not the right fit for us.

 

[volnpowell]

We should not be reaching out to him!!!!!!!
This is the most important hire, and all they have been and still trying to do is find someone that is not expensive homerun hire!!!!

 

[DenverVol01]

It might actually come to that. That's pretty incredible.

Lane may not want to come here after all this. He might sit down there in sunny Florida and wait for something better.

 

[SandoVOL]

That is a relief. Tee can handle this job. Time to roll the dice

thats just you hoping. The last thing we want is to fire Tee a couple years from now because he wasnt ready. Let him earn his stripes.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

He is where he needs to be at this point In his career

Agreed. Best for both parties.

You really could write some good satire or start memes about people turning down the UT job lol.

Yeah i dont want to be, but i think this currie thing as put us in a bad spot. He would still be my last choice, but now is not a time for ordinary measure. The only thing that will solve this is winning. He needs to have a top quality staff to keep him out of trouble. We shall see.

 

[billford]

Don’t blame him and probably best decision for him. Also, probably best decision for UT

Absolutely agree with you. I very much appreciate everything that cut did here. He's called some of the greatest in vol history. Bet I don't think he could go to to toe in the SEC. Sorry just my opinion...

 

[1972 Grad]

Although I don’t want him either, it’s kind of sad when a former Vol, semi-legend, curmudgeon, doesn’t want our gig and instead wants to stay at Duke, where football dreams go to die.

Lovely.........

Duke has an intelligent fan base.

 

[BowlBrother85]

My brother in law needs a job! Not a football coach but he is really good at Madden.

Come jump on the Lane Train...

 

[spyfish007]

Another way of thinking about this would be .... do I really want to work for Haslam again?

 

[volfannbama]

Mack brown??
Seriously?

Again under normal circumstances i wouldnt want to consider it. Now is not an ordinary time. We need to look at all possibilities. Les miles, the Jets DC...

 

[CoaxialOrange]

We're the Browns

 

[alaVOL]

Cut is a class act and very loyal. Of course he's staying at Duke.

 

[volfannbama]

Lane may not want to come here after all this. He might sit down there in sunny Florida and wait for something better.

You kidding? Lane would love to come here and be the savior.

Witch Doctor dont think it will (??) but I do think at this point we should strongly pursue the ideal. There no one really wants this job. (unless a outside up and comer or someone like Schiano a nest egg..four years a few million and retire)

Nope, I legitimately think he’s ready. Fantastic recruiter calling plays at a big time school. Get him a good D coordinator, and realize this gig is going to take more than ‘a couple of years from now’ to turn around.
