Chris Ash talks about specific lessons he learned from Bret Bielema and Urban Meyer that he has taken to Rutgers.

In his first head coaching job, Chris Ash took some specific advice and lessons from his former bosses to Rutgers. Specifically, the importance of hand-written letters (from Bret Bielema) and the need for young coaches on a staff (from Urban Meyer).

Theres some good information in there that isn't talked about very often. Hire young coaches because they can adapt (and are probably willing) to the direction of a program. That's a very good idea for a few position coaches. It avoids coaches who are set in their styles bumping heads or having conflicting ideals about the game (Shannon and ash or bielema and chaney)

But it also means you stand a good chance of having high turnover because they are young and looking for advancement.  There's a give and take there, for sure.
