Kevin Wilson (American football)

Kevin Reece Wilson (born October 23, 1961) is an American college football coach and former player.

[2] He went on to play center and guard for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels football team as a walk-on.

[4] After playing for the North Carolina Tar Heels, he spent three seasons (1984–1986) as a graduate assistant coach while he worked on his master's degree.

[3] In 1989, he became the head coach and athletic director of Fred T. Foard High School in Newton, North Carolina, near his hometown of Maiden, where the Tigers went 0–10.

Considering the environment in which Wilson was raised, it's no surprise he grew frustrated quickly that so many players at Fred T. Foard didn't share his passion for football.

[15] In December 2005, Wilson was named the offensive coordinator for the Sooners prior to the 2006 season, replacing Chuck Long who left to become the head coach at San Diego State.

[19] Indiana athletic director Fred Glass announced the dismissal of Bill Lynch and the rest of the coaching staff on November 28, 2010, following a third straight season with only one conference victory.

In his second year, Indiana improved to 4-8 on the year with Wilson's team exhibiting an explosive offense, going from 80th nationally in pass offense to 19th and leading the Big Ten with 311.2 yards per game, in spite of losing the starting quarterback Tre Roberson in the season's second game.

[20][21][22] In 2015, Indiana finished the regular season with a 6-6 record and showed a much more competitive level of play in the Big Ten.

Wilson would be a part of 13-1 season with another Big Ten Championship Win, this time over Northwestern, and a Rose Bowl victory against Washington.

[29] Wilson worked as Co-Offensive Coordinator with Mike Yurcich under their new head coach, Ryan Day.

The Buckeyes finished the season 13-1, with another Big Ten Championship victory over Wisconsin and a trip to the College Football Playoffs.
