No one can blame Chris Ash for leaving Ohio State. He has been an assistant at schools such as Wisconsin, Arkansas and now Ohio State for some time; it only makes sense that he would jump at an opportunity to run his own program.
This new job will definitely bring with it some challenges. Rutgers is in a complete rebuilding process after firing both coach Kyle Flood, and athletic director Julie Hermann. Ash will be walking into a Rutgers athletics program that is currently a mess off-the-field too, with issues involving academic compliance as well as coaches physically abusing players in recent years.
