David Cutcliffe talked to the media Wednesday via teleconference.
The ostensible reason was the February signing day.
But the big news was his announcement that he’ll be taking over play-calling responsibilities, with Zac Roper retaining his role as quarterback coach.
Cutcliffe did so without any overt criticism of Roper.
“I needed it,” he said, adding that he missed calling the plays and had been wanting to get back into the role for some time.
“I can’t do this as a consultant. I have to be all in.”
That’s how you avoid throwing someone under the bus.
