COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Rutgers has expressed interest in Ohio State offensive coordinator Ed Warinner in its search to fill its head football coaching vacancy, a source told cleveland.com on Wednesday.
Ohio State defensive coordinator Chris Ash's name has also been mentioned as a potential target for Rutgers' coaching vacancy.
Warinner took over for Tom Herman as Ohio State's offensive coordinator this season after Herman took the head coaching job at Houston last December.
It could be viewed as a potentially good fit for Rutgers given Warinner's proven record of developing offensive linemen, his experience coordinating Urban Meyer's prolific offense and, of course, his long history of recruiting the New Jersey area.
