Duke Closing In On David Cutcliffe’s Replacement?

The early National Signing Day for football is next week and Duke may find their next football coach by then.

According to Steve Wiseman, the two leading candidates are Clemson’s offensive coordinator Tony Elliott and Texas A&M’s defensive coordinator Mike Elko. Former Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who is a big Duke basketball fan who pops up in Cameron on a regular basis, is also in the mix.

All three are smart guys. Elliott was a walk-on at Clemson who was also an Academic all-ACC selection. Elko is a Penn grad while Garrett attended Princeton.
