Frank Wilson Says Decision On His Future At LSU Will Come After The Bowl Game

LSU running back coach Frank Wilson spoke with the media on Tuesday during a Texas Bowl Zoom Press Conference and revealed that his future at LSU will be determined after the bowl game.

Wilson, who is in charge of coaching the team against Houston in the Texas Bowl, said he has had conversations with Lane Kiffin about his future, but they have agreed to figure out the details after the bowl game on Dec. 27. Per 247Sports:

"We've had conversations. For me and for Coach Kiffin, let's play this game on the 27th and we'll go into those details later. We just want to finish what we started with this football team, with the team of 2025. Give them our undivided attention before transition happens. So until then, nothing will necessarily happen in that regard. There'll be opportunity there. Where that lies, I'm not sure. But the priority is our current football team," Wilson said on Tuesday.

Kiffin brought several of his offensive coaches with him to LSU, with the exception of running back coach Kevin Smith. It is unclear if Smith will join LSU after Ole Miss' playoff run and take over Wilson's role or if he will remain with the Rebels next season.

Other LSU offensive coaches whose futures remain in limbo include co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton, run game coordinator and tight ends coach Alex Atkins, and offensive line coach Brad Davis.

All three are expected to coach the Tigers in the Bowl Game, but are unlikely to return next season.

Kiffin plans to keep LSU's defensive staff largely intact, led by defensive coordinator Blake Baker.
