Played at Nicholls, coached at Karr then OP Walker, then went to college coaching. Was it simply due to his success and national attention as coach at OPW? Just curious.

The players he had at OPW. He had so many D1 recruits, college coaches started offering him jobs to try to get to some of his players. He is also well connected and thought of in New Orleans and college coaches knew this would be asset in recruting. He became the Orleans Parish AD before Bebe Orgeron offered him his first college job at Ole Miss. It was all about recruiting, which is his strong point. Orgeron wanted Wilson to bring some of the South Louisiana talent to Oxford.

here's the thing... he also shut Curtis out and took an Orleans Parish Public School to the dome... Curtis hadn't lost a district game in 22 years before that
