Chris Ash is dipping back into Rutgers football history for his most important hire to date.
John McNulty has been hired for his second stint as Rutgers offensive coordinator, sources told NJ Advance Media. He previously held the job from 2006-08 under former coach Greg Schiano.
McNulty, 49, has held various jobs in the NFL since leaving Rutgers, including tight ends coach for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017. He interviewed with Ash just before Christmas when the Chargers were in New Jersey to face the Jets.
Ash recently had others close to him reach out to some prominent Rutgers alumni to feel out their potential reaction to a reunion with McNulty, sources told NJ Advance Media.
