Prior to joining the Buckeyes, Wilson was the head coach at Indiana from 2011-16, leading the Hoosiers to back-to-back bowl appearances during the 2015-16 seasons. He also has previous stints at Oklahoma and Northwestern and previously captured the 2008 Broyles Award while with the Sooners.
During his time at Ohio State, the Buckeyes have maintained a prolific offense while working under Day and alongside Brian Hartline. Best of luck to Wilson as he returns to the head coaching ranks for 2023.
