this can't be a serious question

the only reason Duke basketball is an elite program is because one of the best coaches of all time dedicated his career to it

so uh, unless Duke finds the next Nick Saban, and keeps him for 30 years, they'll remain what they are -- a mostly irrelevant ACC team (and they should be thrilled with a guy like Cutcliffe, who wants to be there and makes them semi-competitive at times)
