Tulsa has officially hired Kevin Wilson as its new head coach.
on Monday night. Wilson will be formally introduced as Tulsa’s new head coach during a Tuesday afternoon press conference., Wilson is expected to remain with the Buckeyes for their upcoming College Football Playoff game against Georgia on Dec. 31 and in the national championship should OSU advance. Wilson arrived at Ohio State in 2017 after serving as Indiana's head coach from 2011-2016 and has since turned in many prolific offensive seasons while also coaching the Buckeyes' tight ends.
If the Buckeyes choose to promote from within to replace Wilson’s spot among its 10 full-time assistant coaches, the most likely candidate to take that spot would be longtime support staffer Keenan Bailey, who has worked with Ohio State’s offense since 2016 and spent time working with the tight ends this offseason, with Cade Stover specifically crediting Bailey with helping him developing as a pass-catcher this year.
“Keenan is probably the best-held secret in this whole entire place,” Stover said in August. “I love talking to that dude, he helps me so much and he's just a very, very smart mind with football.” Of course, it’s also possible Ohio State could bring in a new offensive coordinator and/or tight ends coach from outside the program – particularly if Ryan Day decides it’s time to give up play-calling duties going into his fifth season as the Buckeyes’ head coach.
