ESPN Reporting Cutcliffe is "Done Deal"

ESPN.com's Chris Low is reporting that Cutcliffe to Duke is a lock and that an introductory press conference will occur on Monday. The above report was revised from an earlier report on SportsCenter that described the hiring as a "Done Deal" and said that an announcement could come as early as Tonight.

However, we called Duke Sports Information Director Art Chase, who said that the reports were "not true." Additionally, Duke President Richard Brodhead told the News & Observer this afternoon that the job is still open as of today.

It remains to be seen how this will turn out, but the preponderance of reports makes us think that the odds are pretty large that Cutcliffe is the man.

Our friends over at The Blue Zone have just posted some interesting commentary about a Cutcliffe hire.
