Rutgers has hired former Ohio State defensive coordinator and DB coach Chris Ash the new head coach of the football team.
The move was approved by the Board of Governors on Monday afternoon. He will be given a 5-year contract worth $2 million/year. For more on Ash's contract and the official decision check out Keith Sargeant's article here.
Ash's hire will officially end a coaching search that lasted just above one week.
Ash will bring an immediate defensive presence to The Banks, which is exactly what Rutgers needs. Furthermore, he is defensive back guru, something Rutgers needs more than anything.
