Cutcliffe says no offer has been made

Cutcliffe is on the record now, saying that he hasn't been offered the job and that it would be "arrogant" for him to have assumed that he will get it.

Earlier, this AP wire report said that Cutcliffe said he hasn't been offered the Duke job yet. As it stands now, it seems that Cutcliffe will be meeting with Duke AD Alleva sometime today, and an offer is possible, but as it stands it seems that the Knoxville paper's report from yesterday may have been a bit premature.

WRAL's website is reporting that the search committee will convene this afternoon, so this could be another sign that the wheels are starting to roll on finalizing a hire.

Why am I not surprised that Duke is having troubles closing the deal?

It looks like he's taking the job.
