Veteran Coach decides to leave Ohio State
A loss that will hurt Ryan Day more than anything else will be the exit of Kevin Wilson from the Ohio State staff.
Wilson has now moved on to become the head coach for the University of Tulsa. He spent six years working as an assistant with the Buckeyes in what was a successful tenure.
What did Wilson have to say?
Earlier, Wilson was talking with RJ Young from “The Number One College Football Show.” He admitted that he wanted to experience “one good swing” as a head coach in a program.
He stated: “I think when you are an assistant coach — I had a great job [at Ohio State] — having been a head coach prior at Indiana, I tried to be a great assistant coach at Ohio State. I tried to do the job that was asked and to be a good teammate and tried to be someone who brought something to the table.”
He continued, “When the opportunity [to be an HC] came, it wasn’t about ego or needing to show anyone I could do it… what I felt was my best opportunity if the good Lord wanted, I thought I had one good swing to lead a program and to make a change.”
“Wilson went on to say nothing but positive things about his time at Ohio State, pointing to the strength of the people in the program. It was just time for him to seek a new challenge.”
