When Ohio State officially announced the hiring of Kevin Wilson as its offensive coordinator, Urban Meyer knew the questions would come.
These wouldn’t be about Wilson’s ability as a football coach — he’s widely regarded as one of the most brilliant offensive minds in the college game — but with the way he left his previous job, Meyer would have to answer why he felt comfortable bringing Wilson on board to his program.
On Dec. 1, 2016, Wilson resigned after six seasons as Indiana’s head coach amid “philosophical differences” between him and athletic director Fred Glass. Glass never did elaborate on what exactly those differences were, but the Indianapolis Star later reported an investigation into player treatment under Wilson contributed to the resignation.
