No matter what your opinion on Cutcliffe as an OC, we are undeniably going to lose a trememdous talent at recruiting and developing QB's. In my opinion losing Cut prior to developing our next starting signal-caller will have a truly damaging effect on the offense next year. If Cromton were indeed to be the next starter, having Cutcliffe there to keep his head right was critical to our success next year.

I agree too. Another proposition would be this:

BJ Coleman came here to play for Cut, and with him gone, Coleman might transfer.

Plenty of QB's around the country have managed to play well without Cutcliffe.

Why would Coleman transfer and lose another year of eligibility? He's already redshirted this season. :crazy:

And furthermore, why would he transfer to Duke...

I wish Cut the best of luck but to think he is going to turn Duke into a winning program in three years is absurb

I was basing my statement on the crop of QB's we have now.We have one who has been here 3 years and has yet to separate himself from the pack, and another who was a Cutcliffe recruit, who by all indications ha d the support of the OC. Of course other QB's have flourished without Cut, just not the ones we have to depend on for next year.

Stranger things have happened. If Coleman feels that he will be left out to dry, he might very well transfer out and go to a school that will give him legit playing time.

Also, if Cut does leave, I would imagine that he would try to sway Coleman away as well.

I don't think that he would try to sway Coleman away. In the NFL you might do that...but in college?? That would shock me...and would be unprofessional in my opinion.

I am sure that BJ being a UT guy, planned on coming here with or without Cutty....I just hope they go outside the box on the new hire...Maybe we can finally step into the 21st century of football with the rest of NCAA...

Well, I think it's a little unprofessional to start whirlwind talks about jumping ship before a bowl game, but that's just my opinion.

Cut will do what he feels he has to do to succeed. And if that means taking away a prized recruit, so be it. Inevitably it will come down to Coleman's decision (in this completely wild hypothesis) and if his motivation for coming to this school results in a transfer, so be it.

I don't 100% remember but did Coleman really come to play for Cut or did he just get noticed by him first? I thought Cut was looking for a QB and locked in on Coleman before the other programs. I could be way off though

I was proposing this as a rather... out there situation, but a plausible one, nonetheless.

Lets say the following things happen:
A) Cut leaves
B) New OC comes in and likes Stephens more
C) Coleman is looking at
1) Staying at UT for new OC and competing for no guaranteed playing time
2) Transferring to Duke to play for the OC that loves his playing style (as stated) and who he trusts to coach him. He will have no competition at Duke for the job, and as we all should know the QB is the most important part to Cuts offense. He'll be looking for a Coleman-esque guy.


I'm not saying it will happen, but it is a possibility. And to be honest? If his reason for staying here left, I wouldn't blame the kid for leaving. The last thing we need is another QB controversy.

If BJ was to transfer I would say that Arky would be a team that he would give interest in long long long before Duke...

If I were in his shoes, and my man-crush of a OC/QB Coach left, and I felt that I would be competing tooth and nails with no guarantee? I would transfer out. I'm sure he'll be looking at schools like Boston College for reference. Either he stays here and isn't guaranteed anything, or he leaves and he is practically handed the starting QBs job. If he does well, he can easily go higher than if he was here, sharing time with Stephens. And finally, I bring up AJ Suggs. He transferred out in his Soph(RS) season after losing time to Joey Matthews and subsequently Casey Clausen. Crompton, Coleman and Stephens are all 4-5* (depends on technicality) and could go anywhere. I would be very surprised if they all graduate from here (including early draft status).

Spurrier turned Duke into ACC champions, so to imply that it's impossible is a mistake. Of course, I personally don't think that Cutcliffe is in the same league as Spurrier as a coach, but that's another issue.

Negative. That's one way to lose an otherwise good reputation in a hurry.

Why would it? Out of Coleman and Stephens, one of them is bound to transfer, as one of them would resign to sitting on the bench? I highly doubt they'd be fine with that, seeing what kind of potential we've read about those 2 possessing. Cut would just be trying to give Coleman a chance to play.


As I said before, read about AJ Suggs. He isn't the best case to reference, I know, but none the less... I doubt either will be fine sitting around until their Senior year hoping for a chance (assuming that the job will be Crompton's to lose).
