This is the least clutch defense in the Nation...if we were still down they would have held them, no doubt. When we get a surprise lead, it's 100% that they choke like nobody's business

It could be worse. You could be FSU fans. They haven't been this grumpy since the "wide right" era.

The story of the second half of the year. Not enough offense to help the defense. I hope we find a quarterback and offensive coordinator for next year.

As a Duke fan and a Panther fan, they have a lot in common. Both need some house cleaning before next season, and, a lot of help.

just a poor day by duke again. sooner or later cutt will HAVE to realize his offensive scheme stinks.
QH with a 36.1 qbr. as bad as our play calling is, he misses a lot of throws.
31 rushes for 127 yds. 4.1 yds per carry doesnt suck.
special teams were stellar. 2 kick offs returned for tds. AJ 2 for 2 on fgs. AP 5 punts for 50.2 agg.
time of possession wake 39.33 to dukes 20.27 WAY TO MANY 3 AND OUTS.
1-11 on third downs 1-3 on fourth downs just awful.
defense just gets worn down.

Add to that that Wake scored 39 points and had over 600 yards of total offense without its best 2 receivers. Tackling was really bad, as was Duke's continuing failure to seal the ends. So many hallmarks of a very poorly coached team in need of a competent QB. If Cutt refuses to make substantive changes, 3 - 5 wins will be the best we can hope for in the future. Woe is me.

best line i have seen over all the boards is by RoseBowl1942 on 247
looking back at it, cutt had a solid plan for building duke into a contender, but he didnt have much of one in sustaining it.
i think this is the perfect statement about cutt at duke

I love Cut and what he has done for the program but after our Peach Bowl season I was worried that the same thing would happen here as happened with Wake and Grobe. It pretty much has. I think that he deserves to be the HC here as long as he wants but I really think that changes need to be made. The offense is horrible and while the defense was decent, it never made the stops when needed this season. We are 4-7 and easily could have been 7-4 if the Pitt, UNC and WF games had gone our way. No way should Syracuse beaten us the way they did. I would love to see a new HC with Cut retiring but, where would we start as far as looking for a better HC?

Rex Ryan. Talk about energizing a program! Unemployed, planning to move to Tennessee. Might as well be NC instead. Younger than Cut. Knows a few people. Doesn't need the money, although I'm sure he'll want some.

Will, I don't see Rex Ryan as (1) being a guy who would feel comfortable at Duke, or (2) a guy who Duke would be comfortable with. Unless he has REALLY mellowed from his Buffalo and Jets days.

Anyhow, this conversation is like Coach K's successor--5 years away from happening.

I did not know Cut had five years left on his contract. Oh well. One can dream.

AD White will not fire Cut simply for losing. This isn't basketball. Not enough people care about football at Duke.

I'm of the mind that Coach Cut needs a friendly reminder that if you're staying the same, you're really going backward.
