The wait is finally over.
Just over a week after dismissing head coach Kyle Flood, Rutgers has found his replacement in Ohio State defensive coordinator Chris Ash. The news broke on Saturday that Ash and Rutgers were finalizing details of his agreement pending approval of the Board of Governors. On Monday, it became official and Ash was introduced to the media at the Hale Center.
It was the first chance for Ash to make an impression on the Rutgers' faithful, and he hit a home run.
The presser began with an introduction by President Robert Barchi, who welcomed Ash and called him the right man for the job due to his commitment to excellence and integrity on the field, and in his players' daily lives and academic efforts.
