The guest speaker for our upcoming meeting will be David Cutcliffe, Head Football Coach at Duke. David Cutcliffe, the 2013 National Coach of the Year who has earned both ACC and SEC Coach of the Year honors in a distinguished career that includes the mentoring of Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, was named Duke University’s 21st head football coach on December 15, 2007.
In 2013, Cutcliffe guided the Blue Devils to a school record 10 wins, including the ACC Coastal Division championship and an appearance in the 46th annual Chick-fil-A Bowl where Duke’s matchup with Texas A&M registered nearly nine million viewers to rank as ESPN’s most-watched non-BCS bowl game. For his efforts, Cutcliffe was named the National Coach of the Year by five outlets — American Football Coaches Association, Bobby Dodd Foundation, Maxwell Football Club, Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation — while earning his second consecutive ACC Coach of the Year citation.
In 2014, Duke’s football team finished with a 9-4 record, a season highlighted by a victory over eventual ACC Coastal Division Champion and Orange Bowl Champion, Georgia Tech. The season culminated with a third-consecutive bowl appearance against Arizona State in the Hyundai Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
