Chris Ash thread...

[OrangeJohn]

What is coming out in this thread is that DC's no longer need apply to be HC's. That is pretty strong career advice for everyone who wants to be a coach. Quite a glass ceiling, wouldn't you say?

Totally untrue. What about all the teams that completely overreact to a recent bad experience with an offensive-minded head coach?

Your Spanish translation is less obvious than this.

I just blacked out and heard a mushroom screaming "tacos!!!!"

Has this guy been mentioned for any other hc job ever?

Interviewed for Colorado St HC job last year

If this is what happens, I'll be impressed that Coyle will have managed to lose the fans who did not want Shafer fired and those who did. Just a great job at bringing the remaining 15,000 Syracuse football fans together.

That is so true. On the plus side, proof positive that Coyle can unite people.

 

[retro44]

If you take away the first and last game,our defense was just flat out horrible and those two games I mentioned......those offenses were just even worse.

We really need some defensive coaching also. I will not lose sleep over the next hire

 

[rrlbees]

No they weren't. They graduated five years apart, but Coyle got his masters in '92, which was Ash's freshman year.

That seals it.

 

[KaiserUEO]

That seals it.

Our fate is sealed...and its DOOMED.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Do people understand this guy might be the best defensive mind in college football right now. If he could bring Larry Johnson I will sign up. How did Pitt do with Narduzzi this year? Sorry Millhouse and IB.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Glad I read these eight pages. Now time to go check out the hoop board. See what everyone has to say about Lydon going to the NBA.

Forth and 2 from the 42 yard line. DC's generally punt, OCs go for it.

Also, I suspect DC's will generally default to putting "athletes" on defense while OCs may put them on offense.

It's well documented that HCs that came from the defensive side rarely end up with high powered offenses (setting aside the factories that are selector schools).

 

[IthacaBarrel]

What is the upside with another blockhead like this? What uconn has with diaco or bc with Addazio, white knuckling your way to 6-6 / 7-5 in the good years. 17-13 rock fights. Zero offense.

Oh wait, BC has the 7th best d in country and went 3-9.

Shoot me.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

God I hope this is the hire. This thread is to damn entertaining. Can only imagine how much fun if he gets the job.

He's the best defensive mind and he's co-DC?

And leave Larry Johnson and anything to do with PSU the F away from Syracuse.

 

[Alsacs]

I haven't read this whole thread but if we hire Ash. This is my reaction.
I wanted SS fired but this guy wouldn't be worth firing him.

They better leave 900k for an OC and not being overpaying for this goof. Doesn't seem like anyone is knocking down his door to be a HC. Just such a bad hire if true.

I hate narduzzi, his teams are boring and he whines like a 6 year old girl.

Defense is dead just like disco.

When I wanted FHCSS fired, I thought the understanding was that whoever replaced him would be, you know, an improvement. Chris Ash isn't even the DC! He is a Co-DC.

Wait what best defensive mind in college football is only a co coordinator? Best defensive mind blah.

Throw in 7-8 f bombs and my reaction would be same.

Congrats buddy. Glad you enjoy Syracuse fans misery. Really cool.

 

[Rocco]

I just jumped into the ground and it felt like warm marshmallows with glitter.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'm done if we hire this dude. We won't be able to
move the ball per usual.

 

[fathertime]

I am the first one to say fire Shafer, but even I'm skeptical now that it was the wrong decision. If we're hiring some no-name assistant defensive coordinator that does NOT instill any excitement in the fanbase or recruits, then why the hell did we fire Shafer?? Maryland is now in talks with Richt, VT got Fuentes, ISU gets Campbell... these are schools that we compete against with for recruits. If we bail on the progress that this staff made in recruiting and installing a system to hire Chris Ash?!? I don't know what.
