For the second straight game against the Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman is bringing in a terminated former colleague to help advise him. After Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley objected to Herman’s consultations with former Kansas head coach David Beaty before the Big 12 Championship game last December, Herman is now receiving the assistance of former Rutgers head coach Chris Ash as an unpaid advisor, according to a report from Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods on Thursday.
Ash was fired by the Scarlet Knights after a 1-3 start that included a 52-0 loss to the Wolverines that ended a tenure marked by only eight total wins over 40 games, with four of those victories coming during the 2017 season, his second in New Jersey.
