Tulsa has parted ways with head coach Kevin Wilson and named former UNC wide receiver Ryan Switzer as the interim head coach. The 30-year-old Switzer, who is in his second season as the program's wide receivers coach, takes over a struggling Golden Hurricane squad that is on a three-game losing streak.
On Sunday morning, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Tulsa is parting ways with head coach Kevin Wilson and giving the interim tag to former UNC football wide receiver Ryan Switzer .The 30-year-old Switzer is in his second season serving as the program's wide receivers coach. He takes over a Tulsa Golden Hurricane squad that is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, including Saturday's 63-30 road defeat at the hands of South Florida.
Per ESPN source, assistant coach Ryan Switzer has accepted the interim role at Tulsa. He's the WR coach and a former star at UNC and NFL player.Although Switzer's stint at the helm may only consist of Tulsa's season-ending home game against Florida Atlantic at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, it's an opportunity to prove he's ready for a shot to lead a program on a full-time basis. Plus, given the opponent, he has a legitimate chance of becoming 1-0 in the role of head coach.
Ryan Switzer amassed nearly 3,000 receiving yards while racking up 19 touchdown grabs and seven scores on punt returns across his four-year UNC football career before hearing his name in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He played 41 games over three seasons in the league, beginning with the Dallas Cowboys before spending his 2018 and 2019 campaigns with the Pittsburgh Steelers.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
