With the departure of Drew Mehringer, Chris Ash is looking for a new Offensive Coordinator. To a lot of fans of the Scarlet, it is a search that is about two months overdue.
Ash showed, in creating his first staff, that he relies heavily off of personal recommendations for staff as well as personal friendships that he has developed. But at some point, one might need to go outside the normal circle, outside the comfort zone.
One of the complaints that people had with Mehringer was that he was learning on the fly. People asked why Ash didn’t find an experienced play caller to fill that seat around the staff meeting table.
