We were really sorry to see David Cutcliffe and Duke part ways after the football season. He’s an exceptional man and someone we admired beyond football. In better times, we talked about football coaches molding young men. No one really buys that anymore, but in Cutcliffe’s case, it was absolutely true, as a number of his Duke players made clear when he was let go.
He was a great asset to Duke and the ACC, and now he’s going to be a great asset to the SEC: he’s been hired by that conference as a Special Assistant to the Commissioner.
