Cutcliffe says he's staying at Duke

How many times do we see a coach say something like this, and then two months later, he's out the door? This is one of those areas where I fault the media for printing this story and acting like it means something. When Bobby Petrino ditched the Falcons for Arkansas last year, he told his Atlanta players on a Saturday evening before a game that there was absolutely no truth to the rumor he was going to Arkansas, and then two days later he resigned to take the job. Mack Brown was saying the same kinds of things before he took the Texas job so many years ago. Cutcliffe's comments don't mean anything, and it's just silly that the media writes a story about this like it's news. Of course he's staying at Duke! The job at Tennessee is not open now! It won't be open until the end of the season. It's easy to say you're not interested in a job if it hasn't been offered to you. It doesn't mean anything now.

Which simply means he's already been told by someone close to the search that he isn't going to be considered. I mean really, why would a big time program like UT want to go and hire away a guy from Duke of all places?
