Cutcliffe on Tuesday quashed any speculation before it could really begin, saying that ``I'm at Duke, staying at Duke.''
The Blue Devils' coach twice served on Tennessee's staff and spent eight years as the Volunteers' offensive coordinator. He came to Duke last December after a two-year stint in Knoxville and has called Fulmer ``the best football coach I've ever been associated with.''
Cutcliffe said he was being proactive because he spoke to recruits who said other coaches had told them that he was headed to the Volunteers.
He said that going to Tennessee ``was not even a thought process.''
