I would think Duke would be at the bottom of any successful coordinator's list of HC opportunities. I'd rather take a non-P5 job. Really tough to win at Duke.

It's tough to win but expectations are lower than some hungry G5 teams

Agreed but if he gets some Franklin Vandy magic and wins 7, he’s looking at a Big 10/SEC job and gets straight PAID

Their offense was terrible this year. Maybe he’s no mastermind without Sunshine running the plays. Take what you can get while you can get it.

In the entire history of Duke football, only once has the head coach been hired away to a bigger program (Spurrier).

That’s about the same batting average as Vandy. I’m not saying he’s going to Penn state but a Maryland, Mizzou or Illinois isn’t out of the question if he can win.

They had their perfect situation with Cutcliffe. Good coach but too unsexy to get hired away.

True. You can lose a lot of games and nobody is going to care too much. It's fine, really.

Duke gets good coaches and we don’t… are we really that bad?

Good coach? Maybe. After his co-OC left, then Sunshine left, things haven’t looked so great.

He’s still good, they just lost every piece on their offense that they’ve built. They’re left with a shell of what they were.

They’re in better shape than we are and Sims was objectively a better QB than DJ. Both are the same class. We lost our most important piece on offense for a combined six games or so and felt it.
