Cutcliffe getting any job he wants...

All I'm saying is there's no reason to jump the gun and say that Cutcliffe will take a head coaches job if one is offered. Did he say that in his press conference? No, he didn't. Maybe Cut wants to stay at UT another season. Maybe a couple more years. Things is, no one knows but Cut. Let the thing play out, and then we'll talk.

wow.. pot, kettle. When the media shows a report of Cutcliffe with about six mics in front of him and he says he'd love to be a head coach again, I think that says all there is. if you really want to doubt that, you need help man.

Agreed. More specifically, Cut has said that he would be VERY INTERESTED in the NC State job. Notice that isn't a summary of his comments. That was a direct quote.

You don't even know what bill here is argueing. Although Cut does want to be HC again, it doesn't mean he's going to take any job that comes up after this season. Slick bill thinks he's as good as gone if NC State comes calling.

so the fact that yesterday he stated he'd be interested in NC St if they were interested means? I never stated when he'd take it. But while it is putting things together, the fact that he wants to be a head coach again, that NC St needs a new head coach, and cut said he'd be interested if they were interested, sure sounds like an offer he would take. As a broadcast journalism undergrad, the media does have laws in which they must print the truth. When rumors abound you will hear/read... "on the rumor of going to the nc state job, cutcliffe said.....", on the rumor of spurrier going to alabama, spurrier is quoted as saying....." Standard newspapers and media outlets can not afford to be sued to make stuff like that up. The obvious objection to that are tabloids like the national enquirer. The enquirer sells so many copies throughout the US (and world maybe) that they are able to build into their budget billions of dollars in which they use to cover their lawsuits. So taking those three facts that have been given, if NC St offers Cut the HC job, there's no proof to say he wouldn't take it.

I DO know what he was arguing. I can read. Why don't you go back to my last post and you will see that I edited it to include a direct quote from Cutcliffe stating that he would be VERY INTERESTED in the NC State job.

The only thing you said was "Agreed" to Volfanbill's one little quote. Go back and use your reading ability to see how someone is supposed to interpret that.

Just to play devil's advocate here:

1. he had one year to turn around the offense. In every area but the running game - we improved. Our running game wasn't good last year; we just relied on it more so it's not like we got worse in this area.

2. a mark of a good coach is adapting to what you've got. Our line was not great a run-blocking and our RB's were in and out with injuries (no one player got the reps). We still had a potent offense eventhough I'm sure Cut would have rather run more.

Gotcha, Hoss. And I'm not going to argue this anymore. I just want to continue in denial and say that Cut may want to stick around Knoxville a while longer.

Yes. I read the whole thread, and I agreed with his quote. I agree with him that you need help.

Someone with a University of North Carolina avatar on a University of Tennessee message board is telling me I need help. I'll take that into consideration. :thumbsup:

eh...i understand clowers. "denial is more than a river in Africa". Cutcliffe did a great job getting ainge turned around. While I have stated many times that I don't think he's as good an OC as a lot of other people on this board do, I'd like to keep him around for maybe just proving me wrong. But if he wants a head coaching job and he finds one he likes, a la NC St, let him go, see what he can do. I mean he was head coach at Ole Miss and then went on to coach at Notre Dame before a heart attack stopped that. He's gotta have some kind of desire to prove he can still do it.

He was the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Notre Dame not the head coach.

Well, yeah, he was going to be an assistant under Charlie Weiss. I know he wants to be a head coach again, but I think he should delay that desire a couple more years. For Ainge's and Crompton's sake. A 3rd offensive coordinator in 3 seasons can't be good for a program.

Personally, I think Cutcliffe did a good job this year because he played to the strengths of our offense and he did get our offense totally turned around from a production stand point.

However, Cutcliffe accomplished this feat by doing the quick fixes. Ainge was always supremely talented, he just needed someone that could correct his mechanics and teach him to read defenses, and Sanders was totally clueless in those areas. In addition, our wide receivers were always very talented, they just needed to learn discipline and concentration. The remaining problem with our offense is the offensive line, and I don't think there's a quick fix for that one. If Cutcliffe wants to become a head coach again, I personally think that he'll never be a hotter commodity than he is right now.

it might not be good for crompton and ainge, but at some point Cut has to look at what is best for him and his interests. That's where the decision will come. Who knows, maybe he'll say it's best for him here, but from what he's been saying, he thinks his best interest might be NC ST.

Exactly. He isnt going to stick around and let the position he wants pass him by year after year because of them. And he didnt stay to help Tee Martin's senior year...I would imagine Tee means more to him then our current qbs. Fact of the matter is he is going to do what is best for his family, loyalty aside.

And lets be real...how many of us would turn down a raise that would increase our salary by roughly 200%? Especially when he has made that kind of money before but was fired?
