A New Orleans native, Wilson broke into coaching at the Louisiana high school level in 1997. His first college job came on Ed Orgeron's Ole Miss staff in 2005. He coached at Southern Miss and Tennessee in between Ole Miss and LSU.
Wilson left LSU for the head coaching job at UTSA, where he went 19-29 in four seasons.
