For most coaches, the ultimate goal is to become a head coach with plenty of success. Buckeye offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson has one of those boxes checked off, being a head coach. The success part eluded Wilson. His tenure at Indiana didn’t go the way he would have liked.
From 2011 through 2016, Wilson led the Hoosiers to a 26-47 record, with just one bowl appearance that they lost. Just a few months after Wilson and Indiana went separate ways, Urban Meyer hired him as the Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator. Wilson has held the position since, even during a coaching change to Ryan Day. According to a report by Cayden McFarland of KJRH TV in Tulsa, Wilson is expected to be named Tulsa’s next head coach.
BREAKING: Ohio State Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends Coach Kevin Wilson has agreed to become the next Head Coach at Tulsa.
Wilson had a great 9 season run at OU from 2002-10, before becoming the Head Coach at Indiana & then OC at tOSU.

McFarland expects a formal announcement on Tuesday, so we will wait to see if his report is factual. If it is true, it throws a wrench into Ohio State’s preparation for Georgia in the College Football Playoff semifinals. We will not know if Wilson will stay until the season is over or leave to get his potential new job started.
