After it was previously reported that he would join Willie Fritz at Tulane, defensive line coach Gerald Chatman will instead remain at Tulane as part of Jon Sumrall's new staff, according to a report Thursday from 247Sports.
Multiple outlets are reporting the same.
Chatman is the second assistant previously reported to be following Fritz to Houston to ultimately make a proverbial U-turn at the Texas-Louisiana border. Offensive coordinator Slade Nagle did the same earlier this week, though not to return to Tulane.
Chatman helped Tulane D-linemen Darius Hodges and Patrick Jenkins both earn First Team All-AAC honors this fall.
The former Wisconsin-Oshkosh defensive linemen has coached previously at LSU, Colorado, the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee State, and Butler, and as a GA at Texas A&M and Ball State.
New Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall pledged to bring a national championship to New Orleans.
"I'm telling you right now, I'm speaking it into existence, we are going to make the College Football Playoffs, and we are going to win it," Sumrall said.
