Chris Ash has brought excitement, potential, and hope to a program that has suffered through some extremely difficult times both on and off the field most recently. Ash provides the birth of a new era for Rutgers football, and it's something that, from what I've seen so far, has everyone fired up and ready to see the Scarlet Knights get back on the field.
Ash was hired mainly for the success he brought to Columbus with the Buckeyes during his two-year tenure under Urban Meyer. Ash is known as a defensive-minded coach with a specific scheme that he feels works best against some of the nation's top offenses; and has proven so.
