David Nelson Cutcliffe (born September 16, 1954) is a former American college football coach who most recently served as head coach of the Duke Blue Devils. Under Cutcliffe, in 2012 the Blue Devils ended an 18-year bowl drought and also brought the Victory Bell back to Duke after beating arch-rival University of North Carolina. The following season, Cutcliffe led the team to a second straight bowl appearance, another win over North Carolina, an Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division championship and the first 10-win season in school history.[1] He also earned multiple college football coach of the year awards from the Walter Camp Football Foundation,[2] the Maxwell Football Club, and the Bobby Dodd Foundation.[3]
