Breaking: Chris Ash accepted an offer of been the defensive coordinator position for the Irish…
The Notre Dame football team made a deep run in the postseason this year as they made it all the way to the national championship, but they fell short to Ohio State. Whenever a team has a run like that, it’s normal for there to be some coaching departures as these coordinators are obviously doing something right to get their team into the national title game. The Fighting Irish lost defensive coordinator Al Golden to the NFL, and they are now hiringChris Ash to be his replacement.Sources: Chris Ash has accepted the job as the Notre Dame’s new defensive coordinator,” Pete Thamel said in a post. “Ash brings a blend of coordinating experience, NFL experience and high-end results as a collegiate coordinator. A deal is expected to be finalized in the near future.”Notre Dame had one of the best defenses in college football this year, and the phone was ringing for Al Golden when the season was over. The goal for most of these coaches in college is to make it to the pros, so it makes sense that Golden jumped at the opportunity to go coach for the Cincinnati Bengals.Most of Ash’s career has been spent at the college level as he started things off as a graduate assistant at Drake back in 1997. He was in that role for only a year before being promoted to defensive coordinator. Since starting things off at Drake, Ash has worked with Iowa State, San Diego State, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Ohio State, Rutgers, Texas, the Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders.
