It seems Kevin Wilson has been let go at Tulsa. 7-16 in two seasons
Wilson fired
- Thread starter IUOD77
- Start date
He needs to stay OC at a Top 15 school and he will have a good life.
CKW and CTA are both classic victims of the Peter Principle
The lesser known versions:
CTA - If you act like St. Peter, head football coach may not be for you.
Wilson - If you act like a peter, head football coach may not be for you.

A CEO type coach could do worse than having KW and TA as his coordinators.

CKW belongs in the B12 as an OC.
In unrelated news....seven Tulsa bars close.
I watched a few Tulsa games under Wilson. It went exactly like you thought it would: his teams could put up some points (not like at IU) but his defense regularly gave up 40+ a game. The had too many games in which they gave up over 50 points.
He's not a very good head coach for whatever reasons. Wilson left a TON of wins on the field at Indiana.
Tom had the personality for it but not the smarts. Kevin the exact opposite.
It's an entirely different skillset that is required to be a good HC vs. a good coordinator. Some guys figure that out and either go back to doing what they do best, or learn from their failure and expand their tool kit. It appears that KW didn't learn much from his Indiana experience, especially in regard to finding a quality DC and giving him control of that side of the ball.
He wishes. Chip Kelly is 81-41 as a head coach in college. He took Oregon to the National Championship game.
His UNC team lost this year to James Madison 70-50. That really hurt him according to what I heard today on College FB radio.
Now that (North Carolina) is a program that's a serious threat to go after one of our coordinators... 🙁

They can't pay them what Cignetti now can.
Those guys (particularly Haines), in a couple of years, will be able to do better than Tulsa.
