Tide assistant expected to leave
Ron Middleton, Alabama's special teams coordinator and tight ends coach, is expected to be hired as an assistant at Duke by the end of the week, a source at Duke said today. Middleton will be joining the staff of David Cutcliffe, who was hired last month to rebuild the Blue Devils program. Middleton also worked under Cutcliffe at Ole Miss.
