The last three quotes are from a week ago, but it explains a lot.
“Jay will be a great addition to our coaching staff as defensive coordinator,” Ash said in a news release. “Jay and I have known each other for over 20 years and I have always admired his approach to coaching. Jay and I share a defensive philosophy. It will be a defense built on effort, fundamentals, execution and toughness.”
"I don’t want to hire somebody to run the defense that I don’t really know and doesn’t really know the defense that I want, and then it’s a constant struggle to get it the right way," Ash said. "It’s got to be right for me.”
"I know what I want. I know how I want it done," Ash said. "I want to trust that I can come in the room and do what I need to do with the defense. And if I have other things I need to go do, I can leave and I know that they are going to carry on doing it the way I want it done.”
"One of the first things I’m going to do is have everybody go and watch two or three games of Rutgers – not to evaluate schemes or anything like that, but to identify what our needs are," Ash said. "What we do have on the team? How do they fit into what we’re going to do offensively and defensively? And what do we need to go out and recruit starting right away?”
