Two days after news broke that the Texas Longhorns were set to hire former Rutgers Scarlet Knights head coach Chris Ash as the replacement for fired defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, the school made the hire official on Tuesday.
“After taking a hard look at a lot of options at defensive coordinator, Chris was the one that continued to stand out,” Herman said. “We couldn’t be more excited what he’ll add to our staff. I’ve witnessed firsthand Chris’ skills as a game planner, his attention to detail and ability to develop players. He gets the best out of every one of them and has a history of building physical, fundamentally sound, winning defenses.
