Wilson has been the offensive coordinator at Ohio State since 2017. He also works with the Buckeye tight ends.
He previously spent nine years on the Oklahoma staff as offensive coordinator before taking over as the head coach at Indiana from 2011-16.
In his time with the Hoosiers he took a team that had perennially finished near the bottom of the Big Ten and went 1-11 year one before jumps to four and five wins in years two and three. In years five and six he led them to .500 finishes and was let go before their bowl game appearance in 2016.
At Ohio State, he has helped the Buckeyes establish themselves as one of the most explosive offenses in the country every season, and has sent a number of playmakers to the NFL where they're impacting games on Sundays.

Wilson had a great 9 season run at OU from 2002-10, before becoming the Head Coach at Indiana & then OC at tOSU.

I can confirm Kevin Wilson will be the new TU football head coach. The Ohio St. offensive coordinator and former Indiana head coach had a great run as offensive coordinator with the #Sooners too.
