With Lane Kiffin going from Oxford to Baton Rouge, LSU<\/a> interim coach Frank Wilson will be going the other way. New Ole Miss<\/a> coach Pete Golding is expected hire Wilson as an assistant coach, sources tell CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a meeting on Tuesday, Wilson informed LSU players and staff that he will be joining the Rebels after the Tigers’ matchup against Houston<\/a> in the Texas<\/a> Bowl on Dec. 27. After Brian Kelly was fired, Wilson was elevated to the role of interim coach and led the team to a 2-2 record with wins over Arkansas<\/a> and Western Kentucky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While this may be a new gig for Wilson, there is plenty of familiarity with both Golding and Ole Miss. After landing the UTSA<\/a> job in 2016, one of the first hires made was bringing in Wilson to be his defensive coordinator. Roughly a decade earlier, Wilson served as the running backs at special teams coach for Ole Miss from 2005-07.<\/p>\n

Wilson, 52, started his coaching career back in 1996 as a graduate assistant at Nicholls State, his alma mater. Wilson then worked his way up the ranks of Louisiana<\/a> high school football before joining the Ole Miss coaching staff in 2005. He also made stops at Southern Miss<\/a>, Tennessee<\/a> and LSU before getting hired by UTSA.<\/p>\n

In his four years with the Roadrunners, Wilson’s record was 19-29 with one bowl appearance. UTSA fired Wilson following the 2019 season, and he spent the next two years as the coach at McNeese State<\/a> where he went 7-11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images With Lane Kiffin going from Oxford to Baton Rouge, LSU interim coach Frank Wilson will be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7208,29604,331,7,82050,221,5042,35823,4722,1564,21209,7211,80732,49,48,7207,30144,21199,1541,90362,1078,90361,4731,4730],"class_list":{"0":"post-606714","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-arkansas-razorbacks","9":"tag-baton-rouge","10":"tag-college-football","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-frank-wilson","13":"tag-houston","14":"tag-houston-cougars","15":"tag-interim-coach","16":"tag-kansas-state-wildcats","17":"tag-lane-kiffin","18":"tag-louisiana-ragin-cajuns","19":"tag-lsu-tigers","20":"tag-mcneese-state-cowboys","21":"tag-ncaa","22":"tag-ncaa-football","23":"tag-ole-miss-rebels","24":"tag-pete-golding","25":"tag-southern-miss-golden-eagles","26":"tag-tennessee-volunteers","27":"tag-texas-bowl","28":"tag-texas-longhorns","29":"tag-usta","30":"tag-utsa-roadrunners","31":"tag-western-kentucky-hilltoppers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115732902503098206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
