Tried to weasel his way into LSU's program during the Saban era?
Lots of player confrontations?
Seems to hop jobs before you can even confirm hes on staff?

Proof? I know there are reports that he was to have a position or that Saban at least led him to believe that. What makes you think he "weaseled" his way in there?

Proof? Not hearsay, but actual examples, please.

How do you figure? He was at Ole Miss and was let go when Orgeron was fired. Then had to find a new job, so he went to Southern Miss. Stayed a year until a better offer came. Anyone who claims he wouldn't jump from a CUSA school to an SEC school is lying. Can't blame him from moving up the ladder. Having said that, you'd have to assume a job at LSU is an upgrade over Tennessee and just about every other program.

Yea bargaining with your players to get on the big game is not trying to weasel your way into the big time eh?
If you watched Tenn any this year...you would see it on the sidelines. His players were exploding on him just a few weeks ago on national TV. Hes also had a little history there with some Ole Miss players.
Right. Last year did he even stay on staff for more than a month with Mullen? Course he had to go with his best bud Ogre. They seem to fit well together.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him using LSU as leverage for more money at Tenn. Gotta learn from your best buds, right?

i'm not sold. the rumors of him being a shady character probably have some truth, as most rumors due.

Hell, last year this time folks on this board were about to jump off buildings in Ed O chose TN over us.

Yeah, I know that's what has been reported on message boards, but no one knows exactly what went on. What proof do you have for that besides what you have read on here?

Perhaps he is, but how are you going to react if he does accept the offer and becomes a coach at LSU? You just going to do an about-face and welcome him?
Posted on 12/3/09 at 10:07 pm to Joe Joe Joe
Nothing I can do. I won't like it and I think LSU can do better. All I can do is support LSU and hope he turns out to be a great hire.

On a different note, why is there no mention of the good things he did while at OP Walker? All this talk about how dirty he is, but no mention of the following: instituting mandatory study halls for all football players; requiring a minimum GPA to play football; football players had to wear coat and tie.
Maybe Saban played him for his recruits, and I admit that doesn't look too good if all the things that are being said are true. Doesn't look good on Saban's behalf either. But no one knows if that's true or the full extent of that situation. There are always two sides to a story.

I don't know much about him, but I think he also took a job at Mississippi State for a very brief stay and left for Tennessee right away.

He did. I forgot about that. Still doesn't dilute the point though, in my opinion. He's been moving up the ladder and often that requires you to jump whenever the better opportunity presents itself.

Frank Wilson has develop relationships with High School Coaches in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee & of Louisiana ince he's left O P Walker. Everyone is forgetting he is a Young Coach. He's been around Monty Kiffin for the pat year learning to be a coach.
That Knowledge will help not only him but LSU

Hire Frank Wilson
Posted by: Fletcher Mackel on December 1, 2006 at 12:00AM EST
Dear Rick Dickson,
Please consider Ole Miss asst. football coach Frank Wilson for the Tulane Head Coaching position.
Listening to various Tulane insiders we've heard all the rumored names: Eric Price from UTEP, Ron West from Clemson, Patrick Nix from Auburn, Major Applewhite from Rice, Bobby April from the Buffalo Bills and Jim Harbaugh from the University of San Diego.
Frank Wilson is our suggestion.
The late great Buddy D gratutiously lobbied the Saints to hire Mike Ditka back in 1997, and we're stealing a page from his book.
Except we believe Wilson will have much better results than Ditka did with the Saints.
For too long I've heard about what Tulane doesn't have. How difficult it is to win uptown.
I hate it!
Are there academic guidlines Tulane has to follow that other programs don't have too? Sure.
Will that ever change? No.
Should that ever change? No.
So instead of hiring a guy who wants to complain about what his program doesn't have, please hire a respected guy who's proven he can overcome odds and won't make excuses.
Frank Wilson is that person.
No offense to any of the guys mentioned above, but do they really understand Tulane? Will they be invested in the rebuilding of New Orleans? Probably not. But Wilson will be!
5 years ago Wilson took O. Perry Walker High School to the class 5A state title game in the Superdome. It was the first time an Orleans Parish public school played in the 5A championship. Before Wilson arrived at Walker everyone believed the Orleans Parish Public School System didn't have the resources to compete with the more powerful private schools.
Did Wilson ever complain that he practiced on a field that looked like a goat ranch? No.
Did he complain that his budget was 1/4 that of some of the private schools he routinely beat? No.
Not only did Wilson win, his players stayed out of trouble and passed. In 2003 15 of his kids signed scholarships.
He had kids on his team wearing shirts and ties to class, taking more pride in themselves, their studies and their lives.
The guy is a disciplined winner who doesn't know how to fail.
Ask former Tulane asst. and current West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez about Frank Wilson. He loves the guy.
While at O. Perry Walker Wilson spent countless hours working with Rodgiruez on offensive theory. Rodriguez is now universally praised as one of the best offensive minds in college football, making Wilson, more or less, a protege of his.
Since arriving at Ole Miss Wilson has helped recruit the best class the Rebels have ever signed.
Wilson has also coached back-to-back 1000 yard rushers in Oxford.
Will Tulane hire Wilson? Who knows.
All I know is that this is arguably the most important hire Tulane Athletics Director Rick Dickson will ever make. So, Rick, please don't select someone who merely looks good on paper. Who's a ridicously safe pick. Who has no clue what Tulane is or what it takes to win uptown.
Do something daring. Reach for a young, dynamic, native son who's succeeded at the prep level despite difficult conditions, who's having success in the college coaching ranks and who can once again show the Tulane faithful what success is.
Go for a guy who'll heavily recruit kids from New Orleans and reinvigorant everyone who loves Tulane.
Hire Frank Wilson!
