During head coach Chris Ash’s press conference after the first practice of spring, he announced two bits of coaching news. One was the promotion of defensive backs coach Bill Busch to an additional role of co-defensive coordinator, which was reported a few weeks ago. However, Ash also announced that he has promoted offensive line coach A.J. Blazek to assistant head coach.
This is a savvy move by Ash and another example of the growth he is exhibiting in his second year on the job. Ash gives off a serious vibe and is meticulous in his preparation, while answering questions in a reserved manner.
