Just spitballing some name here. He's only 43. This is his second year at UTSA. Took them from 3-9 the previous year to a bowl game in his first year. They have started 2-0 so far this year.
He was Associate HC at LSU before getting the UTSA job and has won multiple "recruiter of the year" awards from different sites. He's got recruiting ties both in the south and Texas.
Ideally I'd like to see a little longer track record, but he seems like a pretty intriguing up and comer.
Thoughts?

He's been mentioned here a few times by others. If UTSA has a good year he could be a name to watch.

If we're going to fire Odom, we better get a name coach that's not somebody's coordinator, and that has power 5 coaching experience. He also better have the balls to discipline these crappy arse players! I'm sick of giving them the keys to the new car with no ramifications!
The new coach has to not only have the respect of his bosses, but the fans and players. If the fans don't like the hire, they won't show up and buy tickets....if the players don't like him, they'll just lay down and take it in the fanny! We saw that this week!

He's doing well, but i would rather the coach come from a higher level of competition.
That was our mistake with Bob Stull. Was coach at UTEP before we made the mistake of hiring him.

That's going to be the problem going with a mid major coach this year. The mid major coaches with a bigger resume were hired last season. Purdue, Minnesota, Oregon and Baylor got the best coaches from that level.
Memphis, Toledo and UTSA have coaches that look good, but are only in their second season as head coaches.

A coach i wouldnt mind having (yes he doesnt recruit our pipeline in the south or texas) would be DJ Durkin at Maryland i know he most likely wouldnt leave Maryland but the recruiting there has vastly improved and they are putting alot of points on the board (look at Texas win)

Wilson was an assistant at LSU, so he definitely has experience recruiting the south. And now is working of his 3 year recruiting Texas at UTSA.
I highly doubt Mizzou would be able to outbid Maryland either. Under Armor is a major donor here.

I had forgotten about Frost. That flea kicker game might bring up some bad memories for Mizzou fans.

Norvell, Bobo, Harsin, Frost and Morris
Throw in Wilson and Candle
I'm guessing Morris will be on A&M's list if SMU has a decent year. We won't outbid them (on any coach) and I wouldn't want to try.
If Nebraska pulls the trigger, Frost would be a shoo in.

If only someone else had brought this up yesterday...

Does everyone believe that we don't have a shot with Chip kelly? He seems likely to be head coach at a&m or tennessee next year but his resume is strong. He made oregon powerful and had all top 20 recruiting classes.
I must say, i feel much better when thinking about the next head coach. It gives a little optimism that i desperatly need. I really think Sterk will back the truck up and having the SEZ project going forward should help him alot.

quote:
A charismatic New Orleans native, Wilson, who was a top recruiter at LSU for Les Miles, led the Roadrunners to their first bowl in his debut season. If he can get UTSA to nine wins or more this fall, his name will get very hot. As one SEC administrator pointed out to me a few weeks ago, you know he can recruit well in the SEC—a lot of the other coaches people are putting on lists like this, you have no idea if they can do that. As SI reported on Wednesday, UTSA stepped up for Wilson, making him the highest-paid coach in Conference USA at $1,050,000 per year.
