Former Tennessee assistant David Cutcliffe could join Texas’ coaching staff under head coach Steve Sarkisian.

Chirs Hummer of 247Sports reports there is a “good possibility” Cutcliffe will join the Longhorns’ staff in an off-field position.

Sarkisian is in his second year as Texas’ head coach, guiding the Longhorns to a 5-7 (3-6 Big 112) record in 2021.

Cutcliffe served as Duke’s head coach from 2008-21, compiling a 77–97 (35–79 ACC) record. He served in the same capacity at Ole Miss from 1998-2004 and went 44–29 (25–23 SEC).

Cutcliffe coached quarterbacks Peyton Manning (Tennessee) and Eli Manning (Ole Miss). Texas is in pursuit of signing the Manning’s nephew, Arch Manning, a 2023 quarterback.
