The Roadrunners began playing football back in 2011, played in the WAC in 2012 before settling into Conference USA in 2013.
Wilson won Scout.com’s SEC recruiter of the year award in 2015. He spent time as an assistant at Ole Miss, Southern Miss and Tennessee prior to going to LSU.
The potential loss of Leonard Fournette’s position coach should worry Tigers fans on multiple levels.
According to the report, an official announcement on the coaching hire could be made by Friday.
