Seems an odd choice given CSU fired Earle for the exact same things Wilson had been accused of at Indiana.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Cool.
Stick around Kevin. Let’s get some more hardware for the case.

Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, who is now the only assistant coach on offense that holds a coordinator title, will make $1.2 million in 2020. He was one of three assistants, along with departed coordinators Jeff Hafley and Mike Yurcich, who had a $950,000 salary in 2019

COORDINATORS, TOO. It's not a secret that Ohio State hasn't always had exactly the same success rate with hiring coordinators as it has head coaches – hello, Touchdown Tim Beck! – but that doesn't mean there hasn't been some good, too.
In the past decade, the Buckeyes have made three coordinator hires that ESPN rates among the top-10 hires in all of college football during that span – and no other team has more than one.
5. Kevin Wilson and Ryan Day, Ohio State offensive coordinators
Hired: Jan. 10, 2017 (Wilson) and Jan. 3, 2017 (Day)
Term: Wilson 2017-present; Day 2017, 2018 seasons (named Ohio State head coach Dec. 4, 2018)
What they inherited: A talented offense with a convoluted coaching structure and damaging no-shows against Michigan State in 2015 and in the 2016 CFP semifinal against Clemson, a defense that shut out the Buckeyes 31-0. Ohio State in 2016 ranked 48th nationally in yards per play and 81st in passing offense.
What happened next: Wilson was the high-profile hire, while Day arrived as a relative unknown after two years on Chip Kelly's NFL staff. Together, they have overseen a record-setting offense and the best stretch of quarterback play in team history. In 2017, Ohio State rose to No. 6 nationally in scoring (41.4 PPG) and ranked in the top 10 in yards per play, first downs and third-down conversion percentage. The next year, Ohio State set Big Ten records for total offense (535.6 YPG) and touchdown passes (51). Since 2017, Ohio State leads the nation in touchdown passes (138) and ranks second in total touchdowns (234). Quarterback Dwayne Haskins was a 2018 Heisman Trophy finalist and became the first Buckeyes QB drafted in the first round since 1982. Quarterback Justin Fields, a 2019 Heisman finalist, should be one of the first names called in the 2021 draft. Since 2017, Ohio State is 38-4 with three Big Ten titles and three AP top-five finishes.
Just like the head coaches list from yesterday, Ohio State is already featured on this list more than anyone else, and it probably should have been even more. But ESPN decided against honoring the guys who turned the worst defense in program history into the best defense in the country in one season with the same players.

Not only can Urban coach and recruit; he also, can hire great assistant coaches. Think about it, great coaches need to be able to do all three (i.e. coach, recruit, and hire great assistants). You fail in just one of those areas and you likely fail as a head coach too.

Kevin Wilson brings experience, eye for toughness as recruiter
Ohio State has a staff full of the country’s best recruiters, and offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson doesn’t need to be one of them.
That’s a pretty great luxury for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.
Still, Wilson isn’t sitting on his hands or resting on his laurels or any other turn-of-phrase. While the former head coach — who is a real candidate to be one again — could spend the majority of his time focused on scheming up one the country’s most prolific offenses, he continues to work hard recruiting the best fits for the Ohio State program from around the country.
Wilson comes to the recruiting table with a perspective and experience that is rare, especially among tight end coaches throughout America. And he also boasts a cachet that is unmatched at that spot.
Wilson has led the Ohio State efforts on a handful of recruits in the last few years. It was his insistence that Dawand Jones was more than just a big body that led to his inclusion in the Class of 2019. He was also the primary evaluator and recruiter for two other talented Indiana prospects, uber-athletic linebacker Craig Young and incoming freshman Josh Fryar, a versatile offensive lineman who recently arrived on campus. He’s led the way in the recruitment of Cormontae Hamilton and Joe Royer and has set his sights on a number of tight ends already in 2022 after helping land Sam Hart in 2021.
Wilson has led three different running backs to 2,000 yard rushing seasons (Adrian Peterson rushed for 1,925 in 2004, so he was close to four), and he was twice at the helm of an offense that produced a 3,500-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and a 1,000-yard receiver — a feat that’s only happened four times in NCAA history. He’s coached Heisman Trophy winners at Oklahoma and quickly built competitive, tough-minded football teams at Indiana with record-breaking stops at Miami (Ohio) and Northwestern before those big-stage performances.
Those credentials are hard to ignore for young recruits, and it’s a major selling point for Ohio State.
“He’s been coaching at the highest level of college football for a long time,” Holden Staes, a Buckeyes 2022 tight end prospect, told Lettermen Row. “So, I know if I were to go there, I would be learning from an experienced coach every day, someone that knows the ins and outs of college football.”
As a recruiter, Wilson isn’t relied on in the same way that guys like Tony Alford, Brian Hartline, Larry Johnson, Al Washington, Matt Barnes and Kerry Coombs are. Like Greg Mattison on the defensive side of the ball, the greatest value he provides is as a teacher of football, breaking down schematics from his unique vantage point. What he sees on tape, and his ability to break it down for recruits, is where he connects with young players. It’s also where he sets his expectations with them.

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/TIGHT ENDS COACH KEVIN WILSON
HOW CAN HE AND RYAN DAY FIT THE OFFENSE TO ITS PERSONNEL?
National outlets have pegged the Buckeyes as a College Football Playoff entrant again in 2020. Locally, fans expect this team to challenge for a title. With Fields among the returning players, it’s easy to understand why those expectations exist.
But it’s a bit more complicated than just trotting Fields onto the field and saying, “Go get ‘em.”
Wilson and Day need to determine the best way to attack defenses with the personnel surrounding Fields. J.K. Dobbins, K.J. Hill, Austin Mack and Binjimen Victor are gone, which forces the Buckeyes to undergo significant turnover among its offensive weapons. How will it affect the Buckeyes’ offense? That’s for Wilson to figure out, along with Day, as the offensive coordinator.
