You are what your record says you are. That is the way head coaches are judged. If there was ever a time to win in the ACC it is when Miami and Florida State down.

You need to tell some of our own fans this. I agree with you.

Good OC, if not slightly overrated. Had his share of baffling, infuriating calls. Then again that may have been Fulmer's doing. Who knows.

Gets too much credit for the Mannings tho.

Cut is making bank with absolutely no pressure....seems like it would get old though....constantly being a doormat in such a second rate league.

His days are numbered because he will be looking to move on, correct? Surely, noone thinks they would fire Cutcliffe

Cutcliffe replaced Ted Roof who was 6-45 over 4 years. So they do hire coaches there. Cutcliffe is 15-33 at Duke.

I don't understand what you mean. You just stated that Cutcliffe's won 2.5x more than Roof over the same period of time, yet you still honestly believe he is on the hot seat? Cutcliffe's is doing a great job of building Duke into a respectable program, they would be insane to fire him.

Cut did well with the QB's here. Kelly, Shuler, Manning, Martin, Ainge. He is very good with the QB's. I have a good friend who was an o-lineman in the 90's and he always praises Cutcliffe on his work with QB's.

Do you think that Cut ultimately can only hang his hat on the Manning's, or do you think that he's a great coach pissing his knowledge away at a perennial ACC bottom dweller??

David is an outstanding coordinator / quarterback coach. Personality doesn't fit beign a ehad caoch but his knowledge of offensive football has allowed him to take HC position at Duke and solidify his retirement.

All part of his plan when he decided to return in 2006 to Tennessee. Leverage OC job to oen last head caoching job. Duke is perfect for David and I hope he is able to stay there as long as he wants to coach.

He did great things with more than just the Mannings as far as QBs are concerned.

Why do both Mannings pay him to work with them in the off season? Where did Peyton go this year to throw and get evaluated? Cut is LOVED and respected by his QB's.

Really....If he does then that is because of the Manning's and not because of Cut.

He must have been good enough for the Mannings to laid down the law to Ole Miss regarding the recruitment and College choice for Eli.

If Ole Miss did not hire Cut as the HC then Eli would have ended up at UT or whereever Cut was at the moment.

He gets the credit he deserves and not by his word but by the Manning Family endorsement.

Just because other people think something, doesn't mean it is correct.

Below are the seasons they've had 3 wins or more since 98. Notice how 4 of those have been under Cutcliffe. He is truly turning this program around, but you can't take a team that made and win the ACC overnight. I think there's noway they fire Cutcliffe.

I think he is why PM came to UT, not so much the school itself. Cut has produced a lot of good and great college qbs.

I guess I just have a hard time believing someone with his mind would be happy to be the whipping post for a conference like the ACC.

It's about selling tickets though. You have a coach who has had 5 seasons after this year to turn the program around, and hasn't had a winning season, the fanbase is going to start asking for a change, and speaking with their wallet, i.e. ticket sales, and their will be a coaching change.

Cutcliffe took on a rebuilding project, and may not get to see all the fruits of his labor.

Cutcliffe is an average QB coach, a below average OC, and a mediocre head coach who made his rep off the Manning boys and that is the plain simple truth. Another plain simple truth, as middle of the road as Cutcliffe is, he's a better all round coach than his former boss at UT.

That's one of the most hardcore troll jobs that I have ever seen. Great job.

Winning seasons? Really? Duke hasn't had a winning season since 1994. Do you really think that the number of winning seasons Cutcliffe has, is a truly fair way of evaluating his performance?

Cutcliffe is #12 on the hot seat coaching rankings, you really the only one who is making the case he isn't. Cutcliffe won 3 games in each of the last 2 seasons, it's hard to make the case he has turned things around. No one considers 3 wins a good season, not even Duke. Duke fired their last coach after 5 seasons. Cutcliffe is going into his 5th at Duke. IMO Duke needs to win at 5 or 6 this season to keep his job. He's got to show improvement.

All coaches should be judged by their record. Our coach included.

....I am not as impressed with Cut as a OC as some, he didn't seem to care much for the running game, but I am impressed with him as a QB coach and so are the Mannings....!

It had been 5 years since they won 3 games, when Cutcliffe took over. That's exactly why he is safe. Yes, Duke does consider 3 wins to be a good season. They didn't win a game the year before he arrived, and they hadn't won 3 since 2003. He has won 3 or more in each of his 4 seasons. His job is very safe.

I like how you mention the fact that they fired they last coach in his 5th season, but fail to mention the fact that he was 0-11 in his 5th season. Of course he got fired. The point is that Cutcliffe is turning this program around, and has won more at Duke, than anyone else has in a very long time.
