Last week, I discussed potential candidates that Rutgers coach Chris Ash could consider for defensive coordinator. Several of those were former head coaches recently fired, including Ash mentors Dan McCarney and Paul Rhoads. I still feel that isn't the direction Ash will go, based on previous comments he has made about his preferred coaching staff. It's also a fact that both of them has millions in buyout money coming to them.
Ash has said he wants to make Rutgers a first class program and build a winning culture. After winning the national championship at Ohio State, Ash certainly brings his own success to the table.
