Coaching Indiana football isn't nearly as attractive as leading their men's basketball program considering how much the state eat, sleeps, and breathes hoops, but Kevin Wilson did enough in his first five seasons to earn a new contract and raise.
Indiana signed Wilson to a new six-year contract worth $15.3 million hours before Clemson and Alabama met in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in January. Wilson led the Hoosiers to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl in 2015, the program's first postseason appearance since 2007 and only its second in 22 years.
Wilson is a less than modest 20-41 overall and 8-24 in Big Ten play during his five seasons in Bloomington but has the program on the cusp of taking the next step.
