Chris Ash (Secondary Coach Jacksonville Jaguars)

[pnuts34]

I just read this on BR, and thought it was interesting. I feel like its a compliment that so many schools would be interested in our assistants. Shows we've been doing something right

Not sure who else is out there job hunting but this will certainly be a blow to the secondary if Ash leaves.

Thought Urban always insisted on a 2 yr commit

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Yea this wouldn't make urban all too happy. You'd have to think if ash was looking for a good word in the future urban may not be too kind. Having said that, he has to do what's best for him.

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Maybe he's looking for feedback on what universities are thinking of him. Kind of like juniors testing the waters before declaring for the draft.

Playing hardball on that point might make it difficult to recruit good coordinators.

 

[kujirakira]

Allegedly they're interviewing every hot coordinator that fans have linked to higher profile jobs but nobody has touched.
Frost, Narduzzi, Bedford, Bobo, etc.
But most importantly these are all preliminary interviews...

The catch here is that the interviews at this point are considered preliminary, with DHR and a small group of additional CSU insiders charged with screening and vetting possible candidates — a number to be determined — to move along to the next step.

When some reacted to the news of Bobo’s interview with the assumption that he is going to be the Rams’ next coach, that was considerably premature and even a bit naive. This preliminary interview came to light. He might become the Rams’ next coach, but this is part of a bigger picture.

Frank isn’t yet involved and presumably won’t be until final interviews.

FWIW, Frank is the President and was heavily involved with McElwain/Florida negotiations.
So hoping nothing to see here, and more about Ash just getting experience in the process? [/scarlet shades]

Twitter's saying that Mike Bobo is getting the CSU job.

Chris Ash to stay at Ohio State; Colorado State to hire Bobo

Ohio State co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash will be staying with the Buckeyes, a well-placed source told The Dispatch yesterday.

I just thought of something comforting ... I suspect that Ash probably coached against Oregon back in the days when Wiscy went to the rose bowl.

You have a very odd definition of "comforting"

I find it interesting that Luke Fickell was the one who spoke at the national title celebration, not Ash.

I read into that pecking order.

I had previously thought that Ash was more in charge than Fickell.

I find it amazing that Ash initially introduced himself as Defensive Coordinator instead of co-defensive coordinator.

 

[Hstead]

This is my opinion and maybe I am incorrect but I attribute a great deal of our defensive success this year to Ash not Fickell. Fickell had his chance and our defense was not so good. This year we saw major differences in the secondary with the press coverage etc vs our old 7 yard cushion on the corners which everyone ate us alive on.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

I think that can be attributed more to the difference in style between Ash and Withers than anything with Fickell.

 

[Buckeye86]

Ash called the plays from the booth while Fickell signaled them in from the sideline.

Scheme and style impacts aside, that alone was huge in my opinion.
