Keep this under your hat, too (or as I wrote on the front during Signing Day Live, under THE hat, which means nothing), but JJ McCleskey will be announced as another assistant coach tomorrow, as a couple of you had informed me a while back. I checked into it then and it wasn't a done deal, but it is now.
McCleskey's addition will be huge. He gives Tulane a local contact who is extremely popular, having played for the Saints from 1993-96 and stayed in New Orleans to live after his NFL career was over.
For a better read on what McCleskey is all about, here's this story from the Knoxville News-Sentinel. He played for Tennessee in college.

In other news, OL coach Alex Atkins will add the additional title of run game coordinator, the result of him staying at Tulane rather than leaving for a coordinator job. That means Fritz' staff will return intact for the third straight year, a rarity in college football, and even get the addition of McCleskey. All signs are positive heading to the future.
