According to http://www.footballscoop.com/?s=Chris+Ash Coach Chris Ash to Wisconsin.

Please no.

Really sucks, but if he is going to be the D coordinator you can't blame him. Wish him well.

This really sucks.

 

[mt85]

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[Al_4_State]

This is a done deal.

I think we should look at Atif Austin to replace him. I think when you have former Cyclones who are promising coaches, we NEED to get them to Ames when we get a chance. They could be incredibly effective recruiters, understanding exactly what it's like to be a student athlete here.

 

[BigLame]

Ouch, if true

 

[Knownothing]

good replacement on the way.

 

[bootcy]

Their DC didn't leave, so I doubt it will be as the DC.

Atif would be a good choice I think. I know someone who worked in the AD at UNI and really liked Atif.

good replacement on the way.

Any insight or an assumption?

It is likely a more money, greater responsibility, DC in waiting type move.

That said, I am curious who we will snag. Hard to argue with Al's logic about Atif Austin.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

Wisky plays good D, great college town, and good experience for him. Hopefully, we match and he stays. I am sure CPR, and Wally will get someone good.

Is he going to be the DC for Wisco then? If so, I can't blame him.

I am glad he pulled in such a good class for us this year.

 

[jbhtexas]

Did somebody tell him he would be working for Bret Bielema? And he still went? Voluntarily???

 

[bos]

I dont think this is as pivotal as some may think. Chris is awesome and I have no hard feeling towards him for leaving. Im confident that PR has something in mind. I doubt Chris just up and left. This most likely has already been discussed.

 

[d4nim4l]

By the way, for those of you saying yesterday was a "bad day" and we lost some "valuable recruits" this is a much, much bigger loss. We can and will replace him but Ash has done great things everywhere he has went and has a proven track record. Unlike any 18 year old that may or may not sign with us.

 

[Rods79]

So what position would he be taking with Wisconsin?

 

[Tre4ISU]

Classy move by Ash. I have no problem with a coach moving on. He did it right and waited until recruiting was over. I have no problem
