Hoosiers fire Kevin Wilson after officials meet with players about treatment

Indiana University officials have fired football coach Kevin Wilson and will announce his dismissal at a Thursday news conference, according to the Indianapolis Star and other media outlets.
Officials have yet announced a reason for Wilson's dismissal, but a former Hoosiers player told ESPN that he and at least five current IU players were interviewed about Wilson's treatment of players in meetings with athletic department officials and university lawyers during the past two weeks.
The university sent out a news alert Thursday saying there would be a major announcement regarding the football program at a 6 p.m. news conference.
Wilson scored a six-year contract extension in January, worth $2.55 million per year. The contract included a fairly tame buyout clause that will cost the Hoosiers just $540,000 per year in base salary for every year Wilson is let go prior to 2022; if Wilson lands a job that pays more than the $540,000 mark, the Hoosiers will be off the hook entirely.

Wilson does look like your typical angry white guy

From Gabe Ikard's (Center for Cleveland Browns) twitter account:

Kevin Wilson once ripped my buckled helmet off my head, spit on my jersey, & punched me in chest during practice. But the guy could coach.
That being said...Kevin Wilson got the absolute most out of his players. I will forever be indebted to him for teaching me what it took.
Kevin Wilson was just old school. Maximum effort/toughness or you don't play for him. Unreal intensity & candor. Not for the thin skinned.

Well...so much for their slow but steady progression to being competitive. Back to the shitter for them. I see a whole lotta soft creeping back into the program in Bloomington.

Remember when Kansas fired their coach that was mean to their players? I think they won more games in his last 2 years of coach at Kansas than they have in the 6 years combined since he was let go.

If he was forcing players to play injured than I can't blame IU for cutting bait. You just can't do that in this day and age. Nor should you.
I mean they used to withhold water from players back in the day and have two a days in 100+ temps with insane heat indexes. Yeah, it's old school but that doesn't mean it's good for players.

Is this the same university that had bobby knight as a coach.

Probably not going to be a buyout if they fire with cause.
