Finals week has kept me away from the blog over the last few days, but here is the latest I've heard and read.
1) Tennessee OC David Cutcliffe was on campus Wednesday to interview for the job, making him the fifth coach to interview with Duke AD Joe Alleva. Cutcliffe was 44-29 in six seasons with Ole Miss, and he only had one losing season at one of the tougher coaching situations in the SEC. He's also a noted quarterbacks tutor, as he's coached both Manning brothers.
2) Former Georgia Tech HC Chan Gailey and Louisiana-Monroe HC Charlie Weatherbie have had their names linked to the position, although there is no indication yet whether they've officially spoken with Alleva or have an interview planned.
3) Tom Dienhart's blog on the Sporting News site says that Dorrell might be the front runner for the job right now and that Gailey's name has surfaced to him, too.

Cutcliffe actually seems like a pretty good candidate. But it sounds like committing money for assistants and coordinators will be almost as important as getting a decent head coach.
Gailey wouldn't be a bad hire. I still think that Broadway is the way to go, but if we're getting interest from guys like Cutcliffe, Neuheisel, Dorrell, and other guys like that, then Duke may well be on the way to getting its football program back on track.
