A humble yet determined Frank Wilson stood at the podium in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, speaking to reporters for the first time since taking over as LSU's interim head coach following the firing of Brian Kelly. Wilson, who was previously the team's associate head coach and running backs coach, will lead the Tigers over their final four games of the regular season against Alabama, Arkansas, Western Kentucky and Oklahoma.
The Tigers' season had gone awry after losing three of their last four games, including a blowout home loss to Texas A&M over the weekend. LSU fell to 5–3 and just 2–3 in SEC play, far below the standards the championship and playoff standards the program has, and leading to the firing of Kelly.
