Not so fast...Friday Morning Update

Bill Cole in this morning's Winston-Salem Journal says that no offer has yet been made, and that Duke has narrowed the search down to Cutcliffe and former UCLA HC Karl Dorrell. The Herald-Sun says much the same thing.

Also, this morning's News and Observer update has some interesting comments from Cutcliffe on his health. Cutcliffe had to take two years off from coaching after undergoing a triple bypass procedure.

Here's a good read from Frank Dascenzo with an interview of Archie Manning, who gives a ringing endorsement for Cutcliffe and his offensive philosophy.

Continue to check back as the day progresses, as I'll be monitoring the situation and posting the latest as soon as I see it.

Thursday Update - Noon

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.
