David Cutcliffe has a reputation as one of the most respected Head Coaches in College Football, and it is a well-deserved one.
Cutcliffe turned things around on a football program that lived on the shadows of the school’s famous basketball program. This is not to say that Duke is the next football powerhouse by any stretch, but this program has been consistently delivering within reasonable expectations. Since 2012, Duke has made it to 5 bowl games in 6 seasons, including four straight from 2012 to 2015 and a trip to the Peach Bowl in 2013.
Last season, Duke had a promising squad starting the season 4-0 with solid wins against Northwestern and Baylor.
