there is no way "UM offered Cutliffe" is true.

Brandt worked as a baby photographer before his flair of discovering football talent led him into the NFL.
Definitely must be true!
These next 2-3 weeks are going to be the death of me.

It's God. He'll be seeing him soon.

Cutcliff has done a nice job at Duke but so did Hoke at Ball St and San Diego State. If it is true that Cutcliff was offered then we should be worried!!!!!!!!!!! That would be significant sign that NO top tier coach is coming.
December 10th, 2014 at 8:47 AM ^
Bad comparison. Cutcliffe's resume is much better than Hoke's was. Still, I don't believe this. Checked interest, I believe. Offerred, I don't.

bullshit...cough cough.

And that's it. They will reach out to many candidates that have no chance of being extended an offer. Part of due diligence. Cast a wide net - as they should.
The writer, Gil Brandt doesn't know a damn thing more than anyone here.

Anybody who says any coach has been offered the job (not just gauging interest) before a definitive answer is known from Harbaugh is making shit up. Period.
December 10th, 2014 at 8:36 AM ^
He wasn't offered, but at the same time wasn't interested. I think that's pretty common.
December 10th, 2014 at 8:58 AM ^
Like literally in my post I said "not just gauging interest". I expect many many coaches have had their interest gauged. It's the smart and prudent thing to do in case your top candidates turn you down, you know who to turn to next. But that is not offering a job to someone. Which is what is being reported. I flat out do not believe anyone will be offered the job until it is certain Harbaugh will not take it.

I dont believe this at all. Every site seems to have a rumor of someone being offered the job, or declining it. Who is David Cutcliff to decline ANY job? I certainly dont want him, and find it hard to believe Mr. Hackett would offer this job to him. Gil Brandt needs to stick to Ensure and Depends commercials.
December 10th, 2014 at 8:46 AM ^
You may not know who he is, but David Cutcliffe is a damned good football coach. But I don't believe this either.
December 10th, 2014 at 9:00 AM ^
Dont make assumptions about what I know or dont know. I know he is a 60 year old at Duke who is 8 games over .500 as a headacoach. He had a better record at Ole Miss than Duke. It is YOUR opinion he is a good coach, must be why he is 60 and at Duke.
December 10th, 2014 at 8:38 AM ^
Can we ban Gil Brandt from this board, that would be great!
December 10th, 2014 at 8:40 AM ^
Really doesn't even merit posting. However,its been excellent troll bait on twiiter.

Hackett: Jesus, you guys weren't supposed to offer him the job!!!
Search Firm: But I thought you hired us to find the best candidate to balance athletics and academics and offer him the job?
Hackett: No, that was all bullshit. You guys are supposed to distract the media until Harbaugh gets here. My god, it's the easiest fucking job, could you imagine if he actually took it?!!!

I get the feeling no one knows anything and the only thing Harbaugh has said is he won't even discuss it until after his season is over.
One thing I know, there is almost noone without an extreme Michigan bias saying Harbaugh is likely. I try to take that to heart. This Cutcliffe nonsense is just nonsense, but we did hear that we were looking at him a couple days ago so this is not out of the blue.
Addazio and Schiano were also put forth by Sam Webb as names of focus, but now Webb is back on the Harbaugh train. That smells of Webb caving into the pressure from the fans to me.
December 10th, 2014 at 11:26 AM ^
Really Gil Brandt is weighing in? Classic 'I was somebody 25 years ago so I must still be in the loop' move. Comical. Maybe he's positioning his buddy Tom Landry for the job.
