You all remember the coaching search last year after Scott Shafer was fired, right? The Syracuse Orange were looking at a few names, and (once Scott Frost went to UCF) the ones that kept popping up were Dino Babers and Chris Ash.
Ash then the Ohio State defensive coordinator, seemed to be a bit out of nowhere. At the time, his name wasn't on any other school's list, though we did see a bit of a link (via Drake lineage) between him and former athletic director Mark Coyle.
As a group, we were a little worried.
