Wilson’s name should look very familiar considering not so long ago he was the Buckeyes offensive coordinator from 2017-2022. He held the role, mostly, in a shared capacity, first with Ryan Day in 2018 and then with Mike Yurcich. He remained with the program until being offered the Tulsa head coaching job in 2022 and spent the last two seasons there before being fired in November.
