Chris Ash thread...

[Express44]

Here is a breakdown of his schemes at Ohio State and a video of his DB drills: http://jameslightfootball.com/tag/chris-ash/

I would like to remind them that 83% of the time, the majority sentiment on this forum is wrong.

Enjoy making us look like fools for giving him the McNabb treatment.

 

[orangepassion]

I'm sure OSU boards were great after they lost to VaTech last year.

Yeah, but usually the time a fanbase is most excited about you is when you're the new guy

 

[Delmar]

If he's checking the SU boards on our opinions, then he shouldn't be the coach.

 

[Millhouse]

Don't worry this board doesn't load for people with dial up

 

[Chip]

His family probably has a message board where they were posting that they hope he doesn't go to a job where he follows a fired defensive coordinator turned first time head coach.

 

[Alsacs]

If this board has a 1% chance of preventing Ash from being HC we as fans have done our jobs.

Coyle talking about hiring Harsin is a complete 180 degree reaction from what a super-majority of Syracuse fans feel about hiring Ash.

 

[VirginiaOrange]

Awkward

Seriously - a hundred or so Syracuse posters versus an entire state criticizing your failures.

 

[TexanMark]

Five jobs in seven years?

We call that a "fast burner" in the USAF...that is a good thing

What about Bob Shoop?

Nice picture! so much for the lite side.

Look at coach mac...

1959–1960 UMass(assistant)
1961–1965 Cincinnati(assistant)
1966 Maryland(DB)
1967–1970 Denver Broncos(LB/DB)
1971–1977 UMass
1978–1980 Cleveland Browns(LB)
1981–1990 Syracuse

Now look at Shoop...

1991–1993 Northeastern(DB)
1994–1996 Yale(DC)
1997 Villanova(DC)
1998 Army(DB)
1999–2002 Boston College(DB)
2003–2005 Columbia
2006 UMass(DB)
2007–2010 William & Mary(DC)
2011–2013 Vanderbilt(DC)
2014–present Penn State(DC)

And before you mention his record at Columbia, Larry McElreavy, once told reporters, "I'm realistic; there's not a lot of talent here." i.e. real football players don't attend Columbia!
the positives, north east guy, excels at current gig, current gig dug itself out of scandal and NCAA penalty, academic guy, knows how to recruit elite character players.

I just watched some Ash video...not bad, not bad at all

 

[Toga]

Chris - it's not you - it's us.

 

[OburgCuse]

I can say this: Ash is very ambitious and took the DC job at Ohio State largely to better position himself to land a HC job. He absolutely should have been thinking about how he would handle the offensive side of the ball over the past couple of years if he landed a HC job.

This is a pretty good article on him (and the problems OSU has had retaining coordinators).

So you're saying he came to the interview with a binder?

I think Ash might be the next hot assistant but a couple years down the road. Is it wrong to get in on something early?

 

[JSOrange97]

I don't know what to think about this... More bait?

 

[Frozen]

--Roman Polanski

I don't know if I should like this or not.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Depends on what your goal is. Ash is a risky hire. Can Syracuse afford another four seasons of 3-8 finishes, 4-9 finishes to find out if he can build a successful college program without OSU recruits?

 

[TheCusian]

If we strike out with Babers, Brohm, etc - I can live with Ash. But I'd want to know more about what kind of offense he wants to run.

 

[orangepassion]

Agree, but need Babers, Brohm, Rhule, Montgomery to first tell me no.

No, should have hired Montgomery in 2013.

 

[texascpa]

Doesn't seem most of the Rutgers fans are happy about this either. They're also not happy with the other names apparently already interviewed - Diaco and Cristobal

 

[SWC75]

Interesting that we are searching for a new coach the same year as Rutgers. This will give us an idea as to which job is perceived as the better one.
