Time for Cutliffe to Make a Decision
David Cutcliffe made a sharp coaching choice by swiftly announcing Sunday that Thad Lewis would be his quarterback for this week’s showdown against the Kansas Jayhawks.
However I have simply one dilemma with the means Cutcliffe went about it. It really is such a trivial thing and I hesitated to even bring it up, however felt obligated to do it.
Cutcliffe acknowledged Lewis was one of many athletes who had gotten the flu and sat out in practice time.
If you tell me Lewis is a hero, I am okay with this, largely because I do not have a choice and you could care less what my belief is. But there is moreover the fact that you are the head coach/quarterback expert and recognize a lot more than I will ever identify regarding that position.
There’s no need to tell me Lewis is not 100 percent.
He definitely said he did not want to cause a quarterback debate, although, as most identify, quarterback controversies 9 times outside ten are started by fans and news organizations, not coaches.
If a quarterback controversy manifests because of Renfree’s good play and Lewis’ not so nice play then deal with it if the questions come.
While I agree with his choice and swiftness of it he could have opened up a small door for criticism of his starter.
If Lewis does not play favorably at Kansas then Cutcliffe will definitely be hit with questions about whether or not Lewis is 100 percent and if he isn’t, why isn’t Renfree playing in the game?.
So for the coach’s well being I hope Lewis steps up and is victorious or has a great game, because the last issue Duke needs at the moment in the wake of the great motivator of beating Army is a debate.
Just ask Coach K if you are in search of a second opinion. He has been forced to deal with one or 2 of those.
