DIFFERENT HATS: HOW CHRIS ASH IS SPENDING HIS FINAL DAYS AS OHIO STATE CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Chris Ash isn't spending much time with his wife lately.
"I get here early in the morning, I return phone calls, emails, take notes on some things that I need to try to get done in the next day or two," Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach said Thursday. "When we take a break from game planning over the noon hour, I again make calls, return emails, I do things that I need to get done. And then when we're done, at the end of the day, I'm here late and I go home and I just continue to do work."
Sounds like someone with a pair of high-profile jobs, which is exactly what Ash is trying to equally weigh as the 2015 calendar winds down.
The man mainly responsible for the two-year turnaround of Ohio State's defensive backfield, Ash accepted the head coaching position at Rutgers University nearly three weeks ago. The schoolofficially announced his hire Dec. 7, but before he fully sets his sights on rebooting the dumpster fire in Piscataway, New Jersey, he has one more game to coach under Urban Meyer.
"The one thing I always ask, just be extremely professional about your job, do what you've got to do," Meyer said Thursday. "Because here's the most important person in all of this — people in all of this are the players ... We have a chance to win our 50th game in four years.
"So be very much a professional, and he's done that. Chris has been great."
