Georgia Fans Deliriously Happy that Cutcliffe is Leaving Vols for Duke

Text Size A A A
David Cutcliffe to Duke is good news for the Blue Devils and bad news for the Vols. Cutcliffe's arrival coincided with a resurgence in the Vols' formerly stagnant offense. As quarterback coach, he turned the mercurial Erik Ainge into a steady performer and notched his NFL draft hopes up from 'hopeless' to 1st or 2nd round.

So why is it also good news for Georgia fans? Georgia Sports Blog explains:

Phil Fulmer's record vs. Georgia when he doesn't have David Cutcliffe on staff is 2-5. However, Fulmer and Cutcliffe together have produced a staggering record of 9-0 against the Dawgs.

If he should accept the position at Duke, no one will be happier than [defensive coordinator] Willie Martinez. Hell, Willie could've provided a reference for the guy.

Losing to Tennessee this past season likely cost the Dawgs their shot at an SEC title, not to mention a national championship berth. So, uh... congrats, Georgia. And Duke.
