Wilson turned the Ohio State offense into one of the best in the country. They are ranked sixth overall in the country averaging about 500 yards per game.

The Buckeyes are also the best offense in the B1G. This is not the first time that Wilson has lived in Oklahoma. He at one point was the offensive coordinator under Bob Stoops at Oklahoma.

It will be interesting to see how Ohio State fills the position if Wilson is indeed leaving.
