Indiana Reportedly Dismissing Kevin Wilson
By Kyle Koster
Indiana will announce the dismissal of football coach later this evening, according to a report from the Indianapolis Star. Wilson is in his sixth season with the Hoosiers and has posted a 26-47 record.
The timing seems bizarre considering the success Indiana has had the last two years. Wilson won six games and earned a trip to Pinstripe Bowl in 2015 and his team is currently bowl eligible. The program hadn’t gone to back-to-back bowls since 1990-1991.
The dismissal, however, is reportedly not about on-field performance.
From what we’re hearing, not about wins and losses … On my way to Bloomington now https://t.co/hfI6OgjPKp

UPDATE: It appears several Indiana players were interviewed concerning Wilson’s treatment of the team:
