re: From The Big House Blog

This mornings news

Was told tonight #Michigan officials offered David Cutcliffe their job but the #Duke coach turned it down. Times sure have changed.

Let's break down why this is probably a 100% wrong:
Gil is not a Michigan insider and has no idea if an offer was extended.
Gil is like 100 years old
Gil probably doesn't understand how a search firm works that contacts a ton of candidates to gage interest.
Gil tweeted recently about Greg Schiano which most believe came from the Schiano camp
Michigan insiders have already said that he wasn't offered
David has done a fine job a Duke but is 60 years old
Gil and David must be friends and looking to get his friend a raise.
What could be accurate is David told the search firm, he is not interested in leaving Duke.
So thanks Gil for putting that out in the media. The only offer that Michigan insiders say is out there is one to Jimmy. There is no way that Michigan offered David Cutcliffe, none. (remember when there was news that Nebraska was going to name Tressel head coach? Riley was hired like two hours later)

Another reason this probably has zero truth. It was reported that Les was contacted last night as well. So the search firm is doing it's job. Gil stay off twitter. Now sports radio can go with David turned down Michigan all day.
