Ambrose began his career at Towson as a quarterback. He switched to wide receiver as a sophomore. He threw four passes to Ambrose for 20 yards in 1990. He had four 35-yard catches as a junior. Three of those three receptions were touchdown passes by Dan Crowley. He was able to catch a TD pass from Dan Crowley of 11 yards at James Madison, seven yards at Liberty and 14 yards against Hofstra. Ambrose would have to sit out due to a hip and pelvis injury he sustained in spring before his senior year.
He was the coach of four All-Americans, including Tony Vinson (running back), Dan Crowley (quarterback), and Jamal White (wide receiver). Vinson was the leader in rushing yards (2.016), all purpose yards (2.073) and points scored (138). Vinson was drafted in the fifth round by the San Diego Chargers.
Ambrose left Towson after the 2000 season to become the head coach at Catholic University, a Division III program in Washington, D.C. In one year at Catholic, Ambrose led the Cardinals to a 3-7 record.
However, in 2011, just his third season as the Tigers’ head coach, Ambrose guided Towson to one of the most dramatic turnarounds in college football history. The 2011 team became the “Turnaround Tigers” by going 9-3. Their 7.5 game improvement was the most dramatic improvement in NCAA Division I history. Their 9-2 regular season record included wins over six nationally-ranked teams, the team’s first outright CAA championship, and the team’s first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. Though they would lose in the first round to Lehigh, the playoff appearance would make Towson the first team to ever earn playoff berths at the Division III, Division II, and Division I-AA levels.
The motivation of that disappointing end to 2012 was the spark which powered Towson’s 2013 campaign, which would prove to be the most successful of Ambrose’s coaching career. The Tigers would post a regular season record of 10-2 (6-2 CAA, 2nd place), earning their second playoff berth in three years. Included in those wins was the Tigers’ first-ever win over an FBS program, as they defeated UConn, Ambrose’s former employer, by a score of 33-18. Towson would reach the playoffs as an at-large bid and shocked the FCS world by reaching the FCS National Championship game with their wins over No. 9 Fordham, No. 2 Eastern Illinois, and No. 3 Eastern Washington in consecutive weeks. The Tigers would lose the championship game to undefeated North Dakota State, who won their third consecutive championship. The Tigers season would end with a record of 13-3 (a school record for wins), the number two ranking in the final FCS polls, with a Lambert/Meadowlands Award as the top FCS team in the East, and as the ECAC FCS Team of the Year. In addition, record-setting running back Terrance West would be drafted in the third round of the 2014 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.
