Report: Texas in talks to hire former Duke coach David Cutcliffe as an analyst
Steve Sarkisian has put an emphasis on adding experience to his staff this offseason.
Texas brought in longtime TCU coach Gary Patterson as the special assistant to the head coach, now it appears the Longhorns are after another former head coach.
Chirs Hummer of 247Sports reports there is a “good possibility” former Duke head coach David Cutcliffe will join the Texas staff in an off-field position.
Cutcliffe brings in 21 years of head coaching experience after stints at Ole Miss and Duke. He is known as a bit of a quarterback guru, most notably as Peyton and Eli Manning’s former quarterback coach.
Bringing in Cutcliffe would give Texas a bit of a leg up in the recruitment of five-star quarterback Arch Manning. Texas has been high on his list for a while and is among the top four schools believed to have the best chances to land him.
