Good news. Wonder if this might mean that Leeward Brown stays, too.

and ignore the noise. Especially from a bitter apologist for the Program WF left behind.

My guess is that the twitter dude thinks that the announcement is on hold until after the early signing date per Fritz’s request but the GSU AD may mix the offer cause he doesn’t want to wait and none of this is helped by the bad blood between fritz and their AD


I know nothing about the SMU rumor except to say if it were a real rumor we wouldn’t ONLY be hearing it from a GSU guy
I took the tweet to indicate that it would be difficult to hire Fritz's right hand man of there's still bad blood between Fritz and the GSU AD.

Doesn't matter now!

Football Assistant Head Coach Alex Atkins Named Running Game Coordinator
http://tulanegreenwave.com/news/2017/12 ... nator.aspx
Tulane football assistant head coach and offensive line coach Alex Atkins has been promoted to running game coordinator, head coach Willie Fritz announced Thursday.
I assume that promotion means raise.
"Alex has done an excellent job with our offensive line, and is already greatly involved with the planning of the running game and our whole offensive game plan," Fritz said. "That is why we wanted to add the title of run game coordinator. He lends valuable expertise to our game planning and offensive scheme."

Think we solved the mystery of why he didn't leave for GSU.

Adkins recruits the hel1 out of GA. We do not need to lose that gift among his many other talents...

Ok, never heard of that position, but Mazal, I guess. Is this part of the new 10th coach position title?

Glad we could keep this staff together. I got to see a few things this year, and I love how Troy and Willie (and the rest of the staff) are working together. Is there room for improvement? Sure, but it’s sure not like the old days.

RIP “Cone of Silence”.
