On Thursday, new Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson spoke to the media for the first time since being hired in January. The former Indiana head coach was pressed about allegations that he mistreated players while with the Hoosiers. Wilson is accused of making injured players return to the field before they were fully recovered while at the school. When asked about the allegations and being hired by Ohio State, Wilson defended himself, and said he wouldn’t be coaching with the Buckeyes if there was any truth to the allegations.
In early February when asked about the hiring of Wilson, head coach Urban Meyer said that Wilson was vetted by athletic director Gene Smith before the hiring was approved.
