Ash is back

[wartknight]

Just got a call that Chris Ash is on a plane back to Iowa right now.
He has great recruiting connections in Florida and is known nationally as a very good DB's coach.
Welcome back Coach Ash!

I think Chris Ash would be a great addition to the staff. I wonder if his Dad is retired or where he's at? He was always an excellent coach at Drake.

[wartknight]

NOT his dad at Drake. Lots of jokes made about that.
He is somewhere in Montana right now coaching I think.
Rob Ash I believe is an uncle.

[bawbie]

Is the guess that he'll be DB coach here?

[CYKOFAN]

Wow, I thought Rob was his Dad. I also think (not sure) he went to Montana State from Drake.

So is this official news that he'll be the DB coach next year?

[pulse]

That would be tremendous. He has done a great job.

[ISUFan22]

Fantastic news, if he will be the secondary coach next year. I felt Ash was one of D-Mac's best assistants in that final year.

Welcome back, Coach Ash!

It would never happen, but what would your response be if McCarney came back as the D coordinator or even Skladany?

Sklandany put together some pretty good defenses.

[cmoneyr]

Good hire, I really like this guy, should be a great addition to Rhoads' staff.

[ISUFan22]

I would fully support Dan as DC and was saying that right after Bolt was demoted. The only downside would be the obvious weirdness.

Highly unlikely to happen for many reasons.

[Bobber]

How do these two even know each other? Paul was gone by the time Ash came on staff?

[cyfan964]

Sklandany put together some pretty good defenses.

I was actually always a pretty big supporter of Skladany. In my opinion he got kind of a bum rap when he was here.
