ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

[Cpnd1]

I’m going to reserve judgment, but both Texas and OSU fans made it seem like he was solid for them

 

[Irish5Saint]

Prister: multiple NFL teams have expressed interest in Jim Leonard for a DC position.

Might explain the apparent shift.

This is not flashy…

This is not flashy…

It’s Ashy.

 

[dublinirish]

Someone research if he and MF share the same agent

He might be great but I'm going to start calling him Chris Ass no matter what.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Ohio State fans saying they want ash back he at least got their team to be able to tackle lol 😂

 

[EvilleIrish]

Is this Parker 2.0?

 

[IrishSpartan]

Who the fuck is Chris Ash

 

[FOTY977]

Is this Parker 2.0?

Lmao but no not even close

 

[IrishWayDomer]

Is Mickens going to USC with Bowen?

 

[notredomer23]

If he was safeties and co-dc with Mickens the main guy back there, I actually think it’s quite a strong move. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem that is the case

I don't care if it's not flashy.

But, if it's not flashy and a mid to shitty coach....no bueno

Chris Ash - Wikipedia

It says he got hired for the DC job, it’s on Wikipedia so it must be true…..

 

[NDFAN2008]

This screams BVG higher we are gonna have to put up 45 points a game to beat everyone

 

[SoIll]

Contrary to Ash, Golden actually had success as a head coach. He totally got fucked at Miami. Chris Ash was shit everywhere he’s been. And he didn’t even call plays when he was co-dc for Ohio state.

Probably won't even provide us with an epic gif like BVG

I’ll add “willingness to unquestionably run Freeman’s scheme on D without needing much, if any, hand holding” as the key ingredient there.

We needed a good hire and compared to the other names this seems blah.

 

[benneboy]

Ash is horrible. Texas fans consider him one of the worst coordinators in their history. Absolutely atrocious

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Is he even on a staff right now?

Nope. Got fired ( not retained) by Pierce in Las Vegas.
He’s been unemployed for a little over a year.

You can’t compare the talent Golden had at Miami and the talent Rutgers pulls.

 

[IrishTusker]

So we're hiring former OSU coaches because of Tressel?

 

[arndtjc]

2011-2012 Wisconsin

2013 Arkansas

2016-2018 Rutgers

2020 Texas

2014-2015 Ohio State (Co-DC (Pass Game?))

Outside of 2011/2012 Wisconsin and 2014/2015 OSU (as a co-DC), his defenses have given up a TON of yards

 

[IrishWayDomer]

A 51 year old being unemployed since 2023 speaks to me. Like, no one else wanted him?

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Anybody have any credible data or information on how he is as a recruiter?

 

[EvilleIrish]

Guys he hasn't been employed for 2 years. wtf are we doing
