Former Ole Miss, Duke coach now works in conference office
David Cutcliffe, former head coach at Ole Miss and Duke and now an executive in the SEC office, spoke Tuesday at the Senior Bowl Touchdown Club event at the Country Club of Mobile. Scheduling is not explicitly among David Cutcliffe’s duties with the Southeastern Conference, but as Special Assistant to the Commissioner for Football Relations he certainly is privy to those discussions.
“We’ll look beyond and see what that looks like. I think there will be a strong push from television to go to nine games, the only pushback may come from some coaches not wanting to play nine conference games. But I think it’s probably inevitable, just my guess. A 12-team playoff helps that picture. And I think SEC fans are going to have to get used to more losses than you would normally see.”
Womack and Cutcliffe attended last week’s Alabama-Tennessee game in Tuscaloosa, the first time Cutcliffe had taken in the “Third Saturday in October” rivalry as a non-participant. He said he found the experience unusual, to say the least. One of Cutcliffe’s successors at Ole Miss, Hugh Freeze, is now in his first season at Auburn. Cutcliffe said he believes Freeze will win consistently at Auburn, but it’s going to require patience from fans.
“I love Riley. I love Riley’s spirit, his athleticism, his talent. You knew it was just all in front of him. I told our staff his redshirt freshman year, I said ‘there’s our next first-rounder.’ He’s got a great mom and dad, great people. He has all of those intangibles. But let me tell you, he can throw it, he can move, he can think. He’s a quarterback in all senses of the word. I’m really proud of him.”“I don’t think there’s any question we’re going to see changes.
