Steve Wiseman of the News and Observer is reporting that former New York Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is a candidate to be Duke’s next head football coach.
Wiseman writes that while Garrett has never coached a college team, his background as an NFL offensive coordinator and head coach is attractive to the school. Garrett’s connection with Duke alumni Daniel Jones could be a factor as well.
Duke and long-time head coach David Cutcliffe agreed to part ways on Nov. 28th, and the school has seemingly concentrated on current college coordinators in their coaching search.
