Frank Wilson

[messageboardsuperhero]

I keep seeing this name mentioned in connection with the UM job and similar openings among other P5 programs. Can someone please explain to me the appeal of Frank Wilson as a head coach at an SEC/Power 5 program? He has been a head coach for all of two years at the C-USA level and might end up finishing below .500 in both of those seasons. If the Houston game hadn’t gotten cancelled, he almost certainly would have finished with a losing record again this year.

Sure he can croot, but don’t people want to, you know, win actual football games? Nothing indicates he is ready to make that jump at this point in his career.

He is the black, english speaking version of Orgeron

Frank Wilson = Ole Miss recruiting how they want to recruit.

The NCAA would be back on campus within 3 years.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Rumor always was that he was just a bag man when he was on the Ole Miss staff previously

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

Dude is slime, or at least with poor ethics. Anyone who has heard of his very short tenure here, and how it supposedly ended, would probably share that opinion.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

He sounds like the dream coach for an OM fan

He is the black, english speaking version of Orgeron

Well except for that one detail

Refresh my memory

, but didn't he lie to Dan about leaving, then basically the next day say he was leaving, and Dan told him to pack his **** that second and get out?

Exactly, and when the NCAA tries to come down on OM with Wilson as the HC, OM will have the race card in their back pocket to play. Narrative can be its just the ol' white man NCAA tryin' to keep a brother down.

How long was he on MSU's staff?

[Lildoggy]

Wasn’t this the guy that Mullen sent packing?? As in told him to leave the facilities...

 

[HumpDawgy]

He was on our staff for a cup of coffee and then Kiffin hired him at Tennessee. During the 3 days he was on our staff, he probably committed multiple recruiting infractions.

The story I heard was that he was confronted about leaving for TN and recruiting for TN while on our payroll during a staff meeting. The end result was him turning in all of his State gear, including what he was wearing, and leaving in gym shorts.

This sums it up...

Wilson hasn’t ever coached at MSU.

Youre thinking of Geoff Collins.

 

[KurtRambis4]

No, humpdawg pretty much

stated what I was thinking.

It was Wilson.

They won't hire an AA coach. The old school boosters won't allow it.

Nope. You are correct that Wilson never coached at MSU, but he was hired on our staff for a few days before Lane Kiffin hired him for his own short term job at Tennessee.

Supposedly we took his car keys and whatever else we provided and said figure out how to get home from the Bryan Building.

Love it. And there was no uber then.

 

[MaroonNation]

Big Ole EL-OHEL if anyone thinks Mississippi hires a black coach. They would have to bring the National Guard back in just to get him on campus.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

He’s gonna have to stop 17’ing members of the staff at utsa if OM is going to hire him....or maybe he won’t have to.
