pooh biscuits... #-o

Timing kinda sucks too. I just hope we hold on to our recruited guys. I have confidence Coach Cutcliffe can replace the departed with quality, but Ron is a difficult piece to replace with the NFL experience.

I think this will be a tougher coaching spot to replace and I think coach is running low on the previous coaches tie in.

We'll see....

Anyone know of candidate replacements?

He was the top assistant, right? Best wishes to him, new window...new opportunity for someone. I'm always ok with coaching changes, even players and recruits expect it. If a recruit is coming to Duke to play for one guy on a team of what..100?, then he's not into the team concept in the first place.

Yes, his title was Associate Head Coach - Special Teams Coordinator/Tight Ends.
