Today’s guest on the Coach and Coordinator podcast is Chris Ash. He’s currently the defensive backs coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. When we talked to him on the podcast he was the head coach at Rutgers and had just completed his second season as the Scarlet Knights’ head coach.

We were excited as he was the first Big 10 coach to appear on the podcast. Before coming to Rutgers, Ash served as defensive coordinator at Wisconsin and Ohio State and was part of the staff on the Buckeyes’ 2014 College Football Playoff championship team. Ash and host Keith Grabowski talks about culture, building a staff, recruiting, and more.
