Besides his age, why isn't Cutcliffe in the mix for any of the current HC openings? He consistently does more with less than any other coach in the country. I'll hang up and listen.

He’s not going to win a championship at Tennessee.

When he left Tenn I definitely thought he would be back as their head coach one day

And his health

And his temperament

And his mediocre won-loss record

And his lack of championships

And his 7 losing seasons out of 15 (with a chance at 8 out of 16)

David Cutcliffe is on the backside of his career. He'll leave Duke upon retirement

Health issues.

Duke being a basketball school, there's little pressure to win. He's in an ideal situation.

Cutcliffe has a bad ticker and he's in a very low stress job where he is adored by the fan base. He's getting up in age and will probably retire within the next 3 years. He'll go down as one of the best football coaches Duke has ever had and I don't see him leaving.
