According to Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods, the former Rutgers head coach is currently a top candidate to replace Orlando at defensive coordinator. Along with his ties to the Longhorns program this season as an analyst, Ash coached with Herman on Ohio State’s championship winning team as the co-defensive coordinator and as the defensive backs coach at Iowa State in 2009.

During his time at Ohio State, Ash’s primary defensive scheme was a 4-3 over, quarters-based coverage look.
