Late on Saturday night, in the moments after another disastrous 24 hours, Rutgers interim football coach Norries Wilson settled into a small chair inside a room at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium.
Rutgers had just suffered a demoralizing 28-3 loss to Penn State, falling to 1-2 on the season. Its head coach had been suspended after a university-led investigation. A roster was feeling the aftershocks of a rash of dismissals and off-field turmoil.
Wilson, a former coach at Columbia, was in his first days as interim coach, tasked with babysitting a program in disarray.
