Sunday, Kentucky announced that coach Joker Phillips will not be back next season. At 1-9 and coming off a 40-0 home loss to Vanderbilt in front of a mostly empty stadium, the Wildcats are a mess.
But they are an SEC team. And there's a certain football coach in Durham who is SEC born-and-bred.
Duke head coach David Cutcliffe was asked on his Sunday night conference call if he would talk to other schools about job openings during the season. He said no. Any requests to talk to him, though, would go through athletic director Kevin White, he said.
"I don’t intend or expect that to be happening," Cutcliffe added.
Cutcliffe's name isn't on an initial candidate list complied by Yahoo! Sports' Pat Forde. But, like I said a few weeks back, get used to Cutcliffe's name surfacing for some of these soon-to-be SEC openings.

Somebody is terrible at their job. Cutcliffe said no to Tennessee, a school he has direct ties with. He has 0 interest in Kentucky.
Coach Cut has the best job in America. Zero chance of losing his job. 6 and 3 is considered a great start. He has guys who are rarely have a chance of being academically ineligible. The students love him. Every win is considered an upset. Why would he leave? He is a hero every time Duke pulls off an unlikely win, and when Duke loses... it is just Duke being Duke. Seriously... best job. Ever.
Being the head coach at Duke is finally becoming fun. Why would Cutcliffe leave an up-and-coming ACC contender to go to Kentucky? You must be joking...
Nice try Disturber...
hmm I find that really weird, why would he not talk to other schools during the season?? I see nothing bad at doing that...
